Fairmount Park Splash Pad

✓ Last confirmed for the 2026 season

An interactive water playground in Council Bluffs' hilly Fairmount Park, which also offers a playground, hiking trails, two picnic shelters and a scenic overlook with views toward the Omaha skyline.

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 Council Bluffs average 87°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
