About
The Danville Splash Pad, located at 27 Phipps Ave, Danville, WV, is a public recreational facility designed for children and families. It offers a safe and interactive water play experience featuring various ground sprays, water jets, and other aquatic elements without the depth of a traditional pool. It serves as a popular community spot for cooling off and recreation during warm weather.
As a splash pad, the water is typically not heated and operates at ambient outdoor temperatures. Specific temperature data for the water is generally not provided or maintained, as it's designed for cool-off rather than regulated swimming temperatures.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the park are mixed, with several positive comments highlighting it as a clean, fun, and nice place for kids, particularly on hot days. Visitors appreciate the facilities, including picnic tables and restrooms, and commend the Danville Fire Department and City of Danville for community initiatives like providing refreshments. Children reportedly have a great time and are eager to return. However, one significant negative review describes a frustrating experience where the park was unexpectedly closed and locked on a Tuesday (despite no parties being scheduled as per the sign), leading to disappointment and a strong sentiment of not returning.

Wish I could give a ZERO star rating. We drove over to Danville with three small kids on a Tuesday only to find a locked gate and a sign that said closed on Tuesdays for parties. NO ONE was there at all and the gate was still locked at 2:30 pm. We called the number on the sign to see if someone could let us inside and the woman on the phone said NO ONE was available to unlock the gate—so I took my crying children to Magic Island in Charleston. I’ll never come back to Danville for this. WHO closes a park on Tuesdays and then when no parties are scheduled does not open the park for general visitors? 👎👎👎

Good clean place for the kids to play on a hot day. Just push the button on the blue pole to get the water going.
