Built in 2019 as Conway's second splash pad, this neighborhood park was upgraded at the same time with new bathrooms, extra sidewalks and parking. It is an unsupervised facility, so kids under seven need an adult with them.
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 Conway average 92°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 2 weeks a year, from May to May. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
If this one's closed or packed
Splash pads close for maintenance, run short seasons and fill up on hot weekends. There is 1 other pad within 5 miles. These are the ones worth the drive — ranked by shade, toilets and cost first, then by how close they are:
