About the Venue

Kingsport Splash Pad is the city's zero-depth aquatic play area at 1101 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Official city information describes surface water jets, a snake head sprayer, run-through loops, rotating water cannons, water buckets, and a palm tree feature, giving kids more variety than a basic spray plaza. This is a solid free warm-weather option for families who want active water play without paying for a pool or water park visit.
