Splashpad Activation

The City of Tyler’s conservation initiatives involves reducing the use of potable water at the splashpads. In order to reduce consumption, the splashpad is on a timer which must be reactivated every 5 to 10 minutes depending on the facility. To activate the splashpad during open hours, you must hit the activation pad.

• Faulkner Park Splashpad– Touch to activate pad near splashpad.
• Bergfeld Park Splashpad – Step to activate pad near the bench.
