When the Kansas heat hits, nothing beats a free afternoon of water play at local splash parks! And with so many Wichita area splash parks to choose from, you’re never far from a cool-down. From neighborhood sprinkler spots to full-on splash zones with water fountains and dump buckets, this guide covers all the best free splash pads in the Wichita area.
This guide is sponsored by Children’s Mercy Hospital.
Children’s Mercy has been caring for kids for more than 125 years, and since 2012, Children’s Mercy in Wichita has delivered exceptional pediatric specialty care to more than 10,000 patients across the region. Now, we’re expanding that commitment with a new, 18,000‑square‑foot multispecialty outpatient clinic — a new location that allows expansion of the services our Wichita families already rely on. We hope to see you when we open our new facility, with the same great care, later this summer!
*Wichita splash pads are scheduled to open in May
