About the Venue

Buffalo Park Splash Pad is a free city splash pad on the west side of Wichita. It sits inside a larger community park with a playground, restrooms, picnic shelter, courts, and ballfields, making it easy to stretch a splash stop into a full park day. This is a practical option for mixed-age siblings who want both water play and room to roam.
