About the Venue

Theron Nichols Park Splash Pad is a city-operated splash pad at 1743 Mitchell Road in Tupelo. Tupelo Parks & Recreation lists it as one of the city's official splash-pad parks, and social updates show it typically runs on a seasonal schedule that may start with weekend hours before moving to broader summer hours. This is a practical choice for a free, low-prep water stop rather than a destination waterpark day.
