About
Watson Splash Pad, located at 1050 N Yale Dr, Garland, TX 75042, USA, is a free outdoor water play area designed primarily for children and families. It features various sprayers, fountains, and dumping buckets to provide a fun way to cool off during the warmer months. Typically open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, it's a popular community spot for recreational water fun and is part of a larger park.
Specific pool temperatures for Watson Splash Pad are not publicly available. As is common with splash pads, the water used is typically unheated, ambient-temperature municipal water, rather than temperature-regulated pool water.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the park/splash pad are mixed, with several highlighting significant issues. While some describe it as a beautiful place that is fun for children and conveniently located, many others report frequent problems with maintenance, including non-functional or low water features (spouts not working, water off completely), even on busy days. Cleanliness is a major concern, with mentions of trash everywhere, broken glass in the parking lot, and unsanitary bathrooms (human feces). There's also a noted lack of community care, with trash left behind and prohibited items like balloons being brought in. Suggestions include better maintenance from the park and increased efforts from the community to keep the area clean.

This was such a let down. Only a few spouts were on despite pressing the pole to activate the water, this was on a Saturday with lots of kids trying to play. Trash EVERYWHERE. Broken glass in the parking lot. Beautiful park but hard to enjoy when it’s not maintained.

Great little splash pad, wish the community took better care of it. It's only been open a few weeks and already has so much trash every time I go. Maybe if a trash can was closer to the seating area, that would help. But at the same time be respectful and pick up your kids trash. Signs saying no balloons but parents keep bringing them.

Water wasn't up very far and rhe bathrooms were literally covered in human feces. We left pretty quickly. Hoping it isn't the norm.

We’ve been here 5 times this summer because it’s convenient and close to our home but every time, even right now, maintenance is required and the water is off.
