Opened in 2023 next to the park's accessible playground and restroom, this pad features a flora spout, bloom burst, ripple run, and jets aimed at a wide range of ages. It is one of Boise's newest purpose-built splash pads.
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 Boise average 88°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
