A 3,250-square-foot padded pad decorated with blue-green wave patterns and lily pads, offering 29 spray elements shaped like cattails, insects and flowers. A 15-by-50-foot shade canopy covers an adjacent picnic and bench area that is fully handicap accessible.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, drinking water, playground alongside, parking at this location.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Omaha average 87°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
How long it's open. Roughly 21 weeks a year, from May to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.

Splash pads close for maintenance, run short seasons and fill up on hot weekends. There are 7 other pads within 5 miles and 27 within 15. These are the ones worth the drive — ranked by shade, toilets and cost first, then by how close they are:
