Metropolis City Pool includes a splash-park component as part of the city's summer pool complex at 312 West 4th Street. The official city page confirms 2026 seasonal hours, daily admission, pool passes, party reservations, and a posted pool layout. This is a practical local option for families who want splash-style water play without paying destination water-park prices. Because the splash park is tied to the pool facility, it fits best for families comfortable with a small paid municipal aquatic setting rather than a standalone free spray ground.
