About the Venue

Thomas Park Splash Pad is one of Marion's main summer splash-pad destinations and is set inside a larger community park that supports a fuller family outing. The city lists consistent Memorial Day to Labor Day operation with daily hours, making it one of the easier splash-pad stops to plan around. It suits toddlers through early elementary ages especially well when families want a free park-and-water combo.
