About the Venue

Tanglewood Park Splash Pad is one of Bryan's free seasonal splash pads and runs March 1 through Oct. 31. The city directs families to activate the water by placing a wet hand over the motion sensor near the pavilion. It's a good fit for a simple neighborhood water-play stop, especially for families who want a public splash option without pool admission.
