💦 There's still plenty of summer left to enjoy at the City of Red Bud Splash Pad! 💦

Our first full splash pad season is still in full swing, and there's still two more months to make a splash with family and friends.

🕙 Open daily: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM

📅 Tentative closing date: September 30, 2026 (weather permitting).

Whether you're looking to cool off on a hot afternoon or let the kids burn off some energy, the splash pad is the perfect place to enjoy the rest of summer. We hope to see you there!
