About the Venue

The Riverfront Splash Pad at Chris Larsen Park is one of Sioux City's best all-around public splash options for families who want more than a quick spray stop. Its riverfront setting, paved trail access, playground, restrooms, shelters, and nearby attractions make it easy to stretch a visit into a broader outing. It also stands out for later evening hours than the other city splash pads.
