About the Venue

Nixa Splash Pad is a new free splash pad at McCauley Park next to the Aquatics Center. The city describes it as an interactive water play area with sprays, fountains, and seating nearby. It is an easy choice for families who want a low-friction summer stop without pool admission. Because it sits within a larger park and aquatics area, it also works well for short visits and meetups.
