About the Venue

John Ward Memorial Park Splash Pad is a convenient west Amarillo water-play stop inside a larger neighborhood park. The splash pad sits alongside a playground and basketball courts, which makes it useful for mixed-age family visits where not every child wants water play the whole time. It is a practical option for casual summer outings rather than a large destination spray park.
