The typical Conway pad runs about 2 weeks a year. Municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so the last few weeks of the season are the least reliable.
What to expect
The things that decide a trip with small children — a toilet, some shade, somewhere to sit — are exactly what listings usually leave out. Across the 2 pads in Conway:

Built in 2019 as Conway's second splash pad, this neighborhood park was upgraded at the same time with new bathrooms, extra sidewalks and parking. It is an unsupervised facility, so kids under seven need an adult with them.
