Margaret Greene Splash Pad

We’re building a new splash pad at Margaret Greene park in 2024! The new splash pad will be built next to the playground and will be fully accessible to all users.

Earlier in 2023, we presented two designs for community feedback. Of the two, the Natural Design was most popular as a base for the final splash pad. Learn about what else we heard from the community and how we used that feedback to finalize the design in our Engagement Summary Report.

Announcing the final design for your splash pad

Using feedback from the community and the City's Accessibility Advisory Committee, our design team is proud to share the final concept design for the splash pad! Close up view of the splash pad during operating hours. Children play as the water shoots up from flower-like water structures.

Close-up view of the large shade structures to be featured around the splash pad. People sitting on benches underneath the shade observe the splash pad.

The new splash pad will include: 

A large shade structure in a natural leaf theme 
Two accessible paths from the parking lot and one to the existing playground 
A variety of seating options including accessible picnic–style tables 
A seat wall near the splash zone to allow inclusive interaction with the water 
A variety of highly-visible water features

Check out the Final Design Images section on this page for more views of this exciting new addition to Margaret Greene Park.

The design team and staff will finalize the detailed splash pad design this winter, and construction is currently planned for summer 2024. 

Future updates will be available on the City website.

Choose between two splash pad designs

Margaret Greene Park Splash Pad concepts

Our consultants have developed with two different concepts for the new splash pad coming to Margaret Greene Park. The concepts are not finished designs, but instead they show a few different elements that can be included in the finished design for your feedback. You will notice that specific spray equipment is not included in the designs presented. That’s intentional. We want to know what you would like to see in your park!
Please take just five or ten minutes to share your thoughts on different design elements and what changes you would like to see considered for the final design. Our team will use that feedback to complete a design and prepare for construction.
