About the Venue

Bergfeld Park's Splasher the Dolphin Sprayground is a free city-operated water-play stop in one of Tyler's best-known neighborhood parks. Families can pair the splash area with the adjacent playground, picnic spaces, tennis courts, and restrooms for an easy short outing. The sprayground runs on a timed activation system during the summer season, so expect to reactivate it near the bench area as needed.
