About the Venue

Tower Court Park Spray Pad is one of Iowa City's city-run seasonal splash options and operates daily through the main summer season. The touch-activated setup works well for brief neighborhood visits and keeps the experience easy for families who want water play without the cost or structure of a pool admission. It is a practical choice for younger children and mixed-age siblings on hot days.
