About the Venue

Tower Park Splash Pad is Epworth's outdoor community splash pad and sits in the middle of a family-friendly town park. It is a straightforward municipal splash stop with a playground, pavilion, grills, and room for casual meetups rather than a large destination spray park. For parents, the appeal is the simple setup: easy drop-in access, a central location, and enough nearby amenities to stretch a quick cool-down into a longer park visit. Official city updates also note added benches and a shade structure.
