About the Venue

Jack Mann Splash Pad is Longview's best-known public splash pad and sits within the larger Lear Park complex beside KidsView Playground. Families can pair water play with playground time, restrooms, pavilions, trails, and the broader sports-park setting, which makes it one of the stronger all-in-one summer stops in the region. The city lists it as free and notes that it is regularly closed on Wednesdays, with daily operation otherwise running from 9 a.m. to sundown.
