3. 3.Pack sunscreen and reapply frequently since there may be limited shade around the splash pad area
4. 4.Bring towels, a change of clothes, and a waterproof bag for wet items - there may be limited changing facilities
5. 5.Weekday mornings typically offer the least crowded experience, perfect for very young children who need more space

Visit on weekday mornings during summer months (June-August) for the most comfortable experience. The splash pad is less crowded before 11 AM, and temperatures are cooler than midday while still warm enough for water play. Avoid visiting during posted school hours when the facility is being used for educational purposes.

This is a FREE community splash pad, which makes it a budget-friendly option for families. Verify current seasonal operating hours with Anderson Township Parks as the hours listed reflect the school schedule, not splash pad hours. Parking is available in the school lot, but amenities may be limited compared to dedicated park facilities.

The splash pad operates seasonally during summer months only, typically from Memorial Day through Labor Day. It will be closed during the school year when Nagel Middle School is in session. Always contact Anderson Township Parks or check their website for current operating dates and daily hours before visiting, as splash pad hours differ from school operating hours.
