About the Venue

Rotary Splash Pad sits within Fountain Park in the center of Fountain Hills, pairing simple warm-weather water play with one of the region’s best park backdrops. Families can combine splash time with the adjacent playgrounds, walking paths, grassy areas, and the famous fountain, making it an easy choice for a half-day outing rather than a quick stop. The town confirms the splash pad runs from the second Saturday in April through the last Sunday in September, with daily operation from 9:00 to sunset during the season.
