“We’re excited to offer extended hours at our splash pads, giving families even more opportunities to enjoy this fun, family-friendly amenity,” said Denny A. Meline, Director of Parks & Recreation. “It’s a wonderful way for kids to stay active, have fun, and cool off during the summer.”
Each of McAllen’s splash pads offers a vibrant and interactive water play experience, featuring fun elements such as water sprayers, fountains, tipping buckets, and ground geysers. These colorful play areas are designed to keep children of all ages cool, active, and entertained.
All splash pads are free and open to the public, making them a perfect summer outing for families. Guests are encouraged to bring towels, sunscreen, and water shoes, and to follow posted safety guidelines for a safe and enjoyable visit. The updated schedule will remain in effect through the end of summer.
