Splash Pad

Urbandale’s Splash Pad is located at Lions Park, 72nd Street and Aurora Avenue. It boasts 25 different sprays, providing endless fun for children and families. Thank you to the generous donors who helped provide two of the shade structures at the splash pad. One from Steve and Nancy Myers, in honor of their kids and grandchildren, and one in memory of Lion member George Tremmel and his wife Rosie Tremmel.
