About the Venue

Daniels Park Splash Pad is one of Cedar Rapids' seasonal city-operated splash pads, open in summer with simple touch-activated spray features. It works best for quick, low-cost warm-weather outings rather than an all-day waterpark-style trip. Families can pair the splash area with regular park time, and the city's long daily operating window makes it an easy stop before lunch, after camp, or in the evening.
