About
Free water park featuring splash pads and a playground, plus picnic tables.
As a splash pad, the Defiance Splash Pad utilizes fresh, continuously flowing water rather than a traditional pool. Therefore, specific regulated pool temperatures are not typically available, and the water temperature is generally ambient, reflecting the current municipal water supply temperature.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This play area is largely lauded as a diverse, spacious, and engaging facility, with its splash park being a particular highlight for all ages. Reviewers consistently praise the cleanliness, good maintenance, and various play options including playgrounds, climbing nets, and a music area. The availability of ample shaded seating and the fact that it is free for residents, thanks to city and business support, are frequently cited positive aspects. It's a popular annual destination for families, enjoyed by children throughout the season. However, one recent review noted a decline in cleanliness, specifically mentioning a dirty water fountain and mold in wet areas, which contrasts with other comments on its upkeep.

This is one of the best and most diverse play areas for children. The splash park is amazing for ALL ages of children. There is something for everyone. The playground, music area, and climbing nets are amazing options to have as well. It’s a favourite place we come to yearly when we visit family in the area (we’re from near Vancouver, Canada).

This is such a great place for little kids. And that the city supports this free for their residents I think it is amazing. Such a clean nice facility. Thank you Defiance and all the businesses that make this possible. My grandson had so much fun.

This splash pad is a well maintained, spacious, diverse, and clean space for the family. Plenty of shaded seating to relax or host get togethers. There is plenty of room in and around the spash zone, so running is a non-issue. There are splash and play areas for smaller children as well. Don't want to get wet? No problem. There is a huge net to climb as well as a dry playground. Located nearby are courts and a full-on playground as well. Yes, i took pictures of the mens restroom because this city actually keeps them clean! And it's all free!

We've been here a few times before but this visit I noticed how dirty it's getting :(. The water fountain has brown all over it, it's supposed to be lime green. 😬 There looks to be mold all over the wet/water areas, especially where there's maybe grout.. it's spotty and brown or black. I'm certain that's got to be mold. It's too bad, it's a nice big splash pad! If you have a cleaning event let me know, I'll volunteer to help!

So fun! Kept clean. The kids love this spot every year from as soon as they open in May until Septembers end!
