Water jets rise from a circular plaza at the base of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, with the Missouri River as the backdrop and stepped seating plus a grassy slope for parents. The city listed it as closed for the 2025 season due to vandalism, so check status before visiting.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, 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.
