About the Venue

Fossil Park Pool combines a splash pad with broader pool amenities, making it a better fit than a stand-alone sprayground for families who want options. The city lists a splash pad, wading pool, flume slide, low and high dives, swim lessons, and a shaded picnic area. This is a low-cost summer choice for families with different swim comfort levels, though it closes for the off-season.
