We advise always checking with the venue before heading out as hours and availability can change due to many factors, ranging from weather to staffing issues.
Tip: Enlarge the map by clicking on the top right and click on the purple icon for the address of the pool and splash pad. If you don't see a splash pad or a pool listed, it is most likely managed by another local government agency or HOA. You can check with them directly for hours and locations.
The summer season of the entertainment capital of the world has been known as "the hottest summer season." Not just of the world-renowned shows and entertainment but also of the scourging heat of the sun. But not a reason not to have family fun under the sun.
Don't forget the essentials:
• sunscreen
• sunhats
• water - splash pad water is recycled water and not safe for drinking
• snacks/food
• towels
• change of clothes
• water shoes
• waterproof camera (unless you are willing to risk your water-proof cell phone)
• water-safe toys

Splash Pads in Las Vegas
The Las Vegas valley has several splash pads to keep the kids and adults cool off the summer heat where kids (and adults) can play – and most splash pads are free!
Splash pads are open May 1 through Sept. 30 daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The water that is used is clean, just like tap water at home. The water used in these areas is recycled the same way as water from our homes; it goes down the drain, to the treatment plant, winds up in Lake Mead and then comes back through the pipes.
