About the Venue

The Pekin splash pad at Riverfront Park is a free downtown water-play stop geared toward children 12 and under. Families get straightforward planning details here: posted seasonal hours, seasonal restrooms, public parking, and a push-button activation setup. It works best for casual summer drop-ins rather than long, all-day stays or private party rentals.
