About the Venue

Faulkner Park Sprayground is a free City of Tyler splash area on the south side of Faulkner Park. It works especially well for families who want to stretch a water-play visit into a larger park day with playgrounds, picnic areas, trails, fishing pond access, and the nearby skate park. The sprayground is timer-activated and runs during the summer season, making it a practical warm-weather drop-in option.
