Splash Parks are open for the 2026 season!!!

💦 Omaha and Bellevue locations open daily 9am-8pm and Papillion open daily 10am-7pm. Neighborhood HOA splash park hours may differ.

Splash Parks serve as a fun and interactive gathering place during the hot summer months. A variety of spray features appeal to toddlers and older children, with parents often joining in the fun. Water spraygrounds have distinct advantages over swimming pools in that they are cost-effective and low maintenance, and water-play activities extend well beyond normal pool season.
