Burrus Old Mill Park Splash Pad

✓ Last confirmed for the 2025 season

Blue Springs' jungle-themed pad surrounds kids with hippo and elephant sculptures, faux trees, a bucket dump, and a small waterslide — unusual for a free splash pad. An inclusive playground next door keeps dried-off kids busy.

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 Blue Springs average 88°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
