About the Venue

Gully Washer Splash Park is a standout for families who want more than a basic free spray pad. The City of Newberry runs it as a staffed seasonal facility with posted admission, tot hours, general operating hours, private-rental options, rain-check policies, and a location inside the broader Newberry Recreation Complex. The 2026 city update also notes expansion work aimed at younger children, year-round exterior restrooms, a new entrance, and concessions during operating hours. For many families, this is the most organized splash-focused outing in the Midlands outside the larger waterparks.
