About the Venue

Woodruff Park Splash Pad sits at the riverfront in Uptown Columbus and is one of the region's best-known free warm-weather splash spots. Official Uptown and Woodruff Park sources confirm the splash pad is open daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, with longer daytime hours than many neighborhood pads. Families get a downtown park setting, adjacent playground, and easy access to the broader riverfront area, making this a strong option for both quick cool-offs and longer outings.
