About the Splash Pad

The Fox Creek Splash Pad is a recirculating splash pad which features multiple spray features, bubblers and fountains. It is located in the heart of Waukee’s Fox Creek Park. Admission is free! Parking is located in the center of the park, accessible via Westgate Drive.

How to Use Splash Pad Activators

Fox Creek Splash Pad has four sensors or "activators" located around the edges of the splash pad floor. The activators will respond to either a foot or hand. All four sensors do the same thing—turn the entire system on. Each time an activator is triggered, the system runs for four minutes. Once activated, 80 percent of the splash pad features turn on at once. The splash pad rotates which 80 percent is running every 15 seconds. If a favorite feature does not come on when you press an activator, wait a few moments.
