Splash Pads in Las Vegas and Henderson
When it is 105 degrees by noon, a splash pad is the cheapest way to keep kids happy outside. Most splash pads in the Las Vegas Valley sit inside city and county parks and are free, with no lifeguard, no fee and no swimsuit rules beyond common sense. This page gathers the ones we list across Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas so you can find one close to home. Hours and seasons differ by city, so check the park's page before you load up the car.

When to go
Mornings are the sweet spot. By early afternoon in June and July the concrete around the pad gets hot enough to hurt little feet, and shade is limited at a lot of parks. Water shoes help, and so does a towel to sit on.
What to bring
Sunscreen, water shoes, a change of clothes and plenty of drinking water. Most splash pads have restrooms nearby, but not all have shade structures, so a pop-up canopy or an umbrella stroller can make a long visit easier for toddlers.
Seasons and closures
Splash pads in the valley usually run from spring into fall and shut down for the winter. Cities also close them for repairs or water restrictions, so check the city or park page the morning you go, especially early and late in the season.
