Haltom City built this splash pad for roughly $175,000 and spends under $1,000 a year maintaining it, using non-recirculating irrigation-system water instead of chemically treated recycled water. Because the city has no public pools, its parks director says the pad sees near-constant use every operating hour of the season.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps playground alongside, 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 Haltom City average 96°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
