About the Venue

Memorial Park Splash Pad sits right along East Lake Okoboji in one of Spirit Lake's most family-friendly waterfront parks. The city lists a splash pad, two shelters, playground equipment, picnic tables, walking paths, bike-trail access, and accessible restrooms at the park, making it an easy stop for both quick cool-downs and longer outings. The shoreline setting and larger park footprint give families more to do than just water play, especially if you want a picnic or playground break before heading home.
