Read more about this location
Energy Capital Sports Complex Splash Pad is Gillette's official public splash pad, set inside a larger sports complex with family-friendly extras that make it easy to turn water play into a longer park outing. The complex lists restrooms, picnic tables, a water fountain, parking, concessions, a mist station, and a state-of-the-art ADA compliant playground nearby. This is a strong pick for mixed-age siblings who want a simple, no-admission summer stop without committing to a full pool day. Because it sits in an open park setting rather than a tightly enclosed venue, families with runners will want close supervision.
