About the Venue

Elmendorf Lake Park Splash Pad gives families a larger park setting with water play, a playground, picnic areas, restrooms, and a 1.25-mile decomposed granite trail. The official city page lists seasonal splash pad hours that start at 11:00-19:00 daily through May 26 and extend to 9:00-21:00 daily from May 26 through October. Because the park also includes a city pool area and more built-in amenities than a basic spray ground, it is one of the more flexible family stops in the area.
