About the Venue

New Generations Park Splash Pad is a free outdoor water-play stop in northwest Bismarck designed for easy summer drop-ins. Families get a simple spray-pad setup with 15-minute push-button activation, plus a nearby playground, permanent restrooms, parking, and a reservable community shelter that can turn a quick splash stop into a longer park outing. The setting works especially well for toddlers through early elementary kids who do best with open sightlines and low-friction play rather than a full pool day.
