Reopened in 2025 after two years of repairs, the Funland splash pad inside sprawling Burns Park pairs a slide and giant dumping buckets with an accessible new playground next door. A miniature train departs hourly, making it easy to turn a splash session into a full afternoon.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, playground alongside, parking at this location.
When to go. Peak summer highs in North Little Rock average 93°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 4 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.
