About
The McKissic Centerton Splash Pad, situated within McKissic Springs Station Park at 301 Allen Rd, Centerton, AR, is a popular community water play area. It features various interactive elements such as sprayers, geysers, and dumping buckets, providing a refreshing and fun environment for children and families to cool off during warm weather. The splash pad is a key attraction in the park, offering a vibrant outdoor recreational space.
Specific pool temperatures are not typically available for the McKissic Centerton Splash Pad. As a splash pad, it generally uses ambient temperature city water for its features, rather than maintaining a regulated temperature as a traditional swimming pool would. The water is continuously flowing and not held in a large, contained body.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This splashpad is generally considered fun with a decent size and a convenient, somewhat hidden location that often means fewer crowds. It features push-button activation, ample seating, and is well-situated next to a pavilion, playground, restrooms (including family restrooms), and a drinking fountain. Additionally, several food options are within walking distance. However, consistent issues with the water not being on despite posted operating hours are a common complaint. Visitors should also note the lack of shade on the splashpad itself, requiring sunscreen, and very limited parking, which may necessitate parking in a nearby shopping center and using stairs, potentially affecting accessibility. While smaller, it's considered adequate for toddlers and typically operates from Memorial Day to Labor Day, though checking Centerton city information for current status is advised.

This is a fun and decent sized splashpad, and since it is kind of hidden behind restaurants, it doesn't seem to be quite as busy as some. It has the usual rules there is a button to push to get it going. It has the added advantage of being near a pavilion and playground, so the kids can kind of go back and forth. A bathroom and drinking fountain is very near the splashpad, which is so nice. There is also quite a bit of seating. There isn't a lot of shade on the splashpad itself, so bring sunscreen. It typically functions from Memorial Day until Labor Day, but look at the Centerton city information to know for sure.

I haven’t seen this in action but assuming it is functioning properly it should be a fun experience on a hot summer day.

We've been waiting for this splash pad to open for 2 years! It's in a great location. There are 2 family restrooms onsite. There are places within walking distance to get food like Wendy's, TCBY, Sonic, and a diner style place. It has lots of benches for the parents and the park pavilion and playground are all right next to it. The splash pad is smaller but there still seemed to be plenty of room for my toddler to run around and play. Be aware parking it very limited for the playground. It may be possible or better to park at the shopping center and use the stairs that lead down to the paved trail. I don't believe there is a handicapped entrance that way. So you'll want to plan accordingly for busier times. Overall great little place to hang out for the afternoon.
