Read more about this location
Copeland Park Splash Pad is one of the City of La Crosse's three seasonal splash pads and offers a larger play feel than the city's spray-only pads. Families get both ground sprays and splash structures, plus the broader Copeland Park setting for extending a quick splash stop into more park time. The pad is button-activated, free to use, and generally runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather permitting.
