One of Carrollton's two city-run splash parks, with continuously running water features, shaded areas, a deck, picnic tables, grills and on-site restrooms.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps 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 Carrollton average 95°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 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.
If this one's closed or packed
Splash pads close for maintenance, run short seasons and fill up on hot weekends. There are 2 other pads within 5 miles and 30 within 15. These are the ones worth the drive — ranked by shade, toilets and cost first, then by how close they are:
