About the Venue

The Kenneth “Herb” Greenlee Splash Pad is Johnson City's splash pad at Carver Recreation Center, added in 2021 as part of the historic Carver park and community center campus. Families get free zero-depth water play paired with recreation-center support, a nearby playground, outdoor courts, walking trails, and the broader programming footprint of Carver. It is a practical pick for neighborhood families who want a straightforward splash stop with more community-center context than a stand-alone spray ground.

Zero-depth splash play is generally easier to supervise than pool environments.The official page confirms the recreation center setting but does not provide detailed splash-area accessibility specs.
