One of 28 free splash pads operated by the City of Las Vegas at Gilcrease Brothers Park, running daily through the warm months. The city turns its pads on May 1 and shuts them off September 30 each year.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Las Vegas average 105°F. Go before 11am or after 5pm — midday is genuinely unsafe for small children, and the concrete around a pad runs hotter than the air.
How long it's open. Roughly 22 weeks a year, from May to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.

Splash pads close for maintenance, run short seasons and fill up on hot weekends. There are 10 other pads within 5 miles and 58 within 15. These are the ones worth the drive — ranked by shade, toilets and cost first, then by how close they are:
