About the Venue

Fox Creek Splash Pad sits in the heart of Waukee’s Fox Creek Park and offers a more interactive setup than a basic always-on splash pad. The city describes a recirculating system with multiple spray features, bubblers, and fountains, all activated by floor sensors that run the system in rotating cycles. It’s a strong family option for free water play with a park setting and easy parking.
