About the Venue

Sunset Park Splash Pad is the flagship public splash spot in Airway Heights and part of the city's oldest and most feature-rich park. Families can combine water play with playground time, walking paths, picnic tables, shelters, and adjacent sports amenities. It is especially useful for longer park mornings or birthday-style meetups that need more than just the spray area alone.
