About the Venue

Parkersburg City Park Pool & Splash Pad is the Mid-Ohio Valley's clearest official splash-pad destination within this region. It sits inside Parkersburg City Park and combines a public outdoor pool with an adjacent splash pad, making it a better fit for mixed-age families than a splash-only stop. The city publishes seasonal hours, daily admission, season passes, and private rental pricing through its Parks & Recreation department. Families looking for a straightforward municipal option with park amenities nearby will find this one of the region's most established warm-weather choices.
