About the Venue

Mae Simmons Splash Pad is one of Lubbock's city-operated splash pads and sits within Mae Simmons Park for an easy warm-weather outing. Families get interactive spray features, a slip-resistant surface, covered picnic areas, covered seating, restrooms, and a nearby playground. It works especially well for toddlers through elementary-age kids who want water play without committing to a full pool day. Because it is part of a larger park and not fully enclosed, close supervision still matters.
