About the Venue

Michael M. Smith Memorial Park Splashpad is part of the park’s June 2024 grand reopening and sits alongside a new playground, basketball courts, picnic shelters, Clarks Run Creek, and access to the Clarks Run Trail. That combination makes it one of the more complete splash-pad outings in Danville for families who like to extend a short water stop into a fuller park visit. It is especially appealing for siblings with different activity preferences because the park offers more than just the splash zone.
