Originally opened in 1999 on the site of a deteriorating swimming pool it replaced during the Upland Park renovation, the sprayground was completely rebuilt in 2023. Features include a sea serpent, spray hoops, daisies and child-activated sprays.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps playground alongside at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Omaha average 87°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
How long it's open. Roughly 21 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.
