Southlake's splash area sits beside the Bicentennial Park playground, which is built to look like a giant dragon emerging from the ground. Kids splash near the dragon's head among twisting green fountain jets and small spraying archways.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps parking at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Southlake average 95°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
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.
