The City of Dickson Splash Pad is a favorite summer destination for families, and with a little planning, your visit can be safe, fun, and stress-free. Whether you’re stopping by after school, meeting friends, or spending the afternoon cooling off, we want everyone to have a great experience.

The splash pad is designed as a family-friendly water play area, and children must be actively supervised by an adult at all times. While Parks & Recreation staff are on site to monitor the area, enforce rules, and help when needed, they are not lifeguards and cannot replace parental supervision.

To help keep the splash pad clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone, we ask visitors to follow these guidelines:

Children should wear appropriate swimwear, and swim diapers are required for children who are not fully potty trained. Shoes with hard soles, bikes, scooters, skateboards, and other wheeled items are not allowed in the splash pad area. For safety reasons, running, rough play, or climbing on equipment is not permitted.

Food, drinks, and glass containers are not allowed on the splash pad surface. We encourage families to use nearby picnic tables or pavilion areas for snacks and meals. Please also remember that pets are not allowed in the splash pad area.

For everyone’s safety, children who appear ill, have open wounds, or are experiencing symptoms such as fever or diarrhea should not use the splash pad. These rules help protect all visitors and keep the water systems operating properly.

Seasonal Parks & Recreation staff are present to help keep the area clean, address concerns, and step in when safety issues arise. We appreciate visitors following staff instructions and helping us create a welcoming environment for all families.

Before heading out, be sure to check posted hours and weather conditions. On busy days, patience and courtesy go a long way in making the experience enjoyable for everyone.



Our splash pad is a shared community space, and when we all do our part, it stays fun, safe, and refreshing all summer long. We look forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy your visit.
