About the Venue

McCray Park Splash Pad is one of Liberal's new municipal splash pads, built where the older McCray pool once stood. The city says the splash pad is free to use and open daily from 10:00 to 20:00. Official project notes describe a 2,200-square-foot splash pad with in-ground and above-ground spray features, covered seating, and fencing for added safety. For families who want an easy summer cool-off without pool admission or deep water, this is a strong Liberal option.
