About

Outdoor water park-style playground for cooling off, plus picnics and birthday parties.

As a splash pad, the facility typically uses unheated, ambient temperature water directly from the city supply for its features. Specific pool temperatures are not usually published or regulated, as it is not a traditional heated swimming pool.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This park is highly recommended for families, especially those with grandchildren, and for hosting children's birthday parties. It offers a variety of attractions including a splash pad, a well-equipped playground with slides, swings, and climbing structures for all ages, and a garden. Reviewers consistently praise its cleanliness, shade, safety, and the fact that it's free, crediting the city of Kingsport for its upkeep. While some noted that water features might occasionally be off, and there were significant complaints about the unsanitary condition of the public restrooms due to user neglect, the park generally provides a fun and enjoyable experience for both children and adults without being overly crowded even during peak times. It's advised to book covered tables for parties in advance.

Great place to take your grandkids and for birthday parties! Has a splash pad and another part for sliding, climbing, swings, baby swings, a merry go round, etc. for kids of all ages! Very nice and clean fun! If you wish to purchase tickets to hold the covered tables for parties and family gatherings, I would recommend calling the city to book in advance.

Had my granddaughter 6th birthday party there. Everyone had a great time, even the adults. The place wasn't over crowded either even tho it was July. I've also taken my grandson and & granddaughter since then. They love playing in the water & the playground right beside it.

Children and I mostly like the garden. I can't blame anyone for the bathroom but the people who doesn't care for other people health, like how hard is it clean after yourself or children. If the shoe was on the other foot. Nobody would like it if you treated their home like this 🤷‍♂️.
