Pricing Snapshot
Dean Park Splash Pad is one of Ankeny’s free neighborhood splash pads and runs seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day. It’s a straightforward community water-play stop built for casual drop-in use rather than a full-feature aquatic outing. Families looking for quick cooling-off time close to home will find this one easy to work into a park visit.
