The splashpark opened on May 15 but today was the first time my kids could get out there!
I LOVE seeing your babies play at the splashpark after we all worked so hard to get this done for Denton. Post your pics here so we can all see their smiles!
Happy splashing, y'all!

Looks like playgrounds will reopen on Monday (yay!), but the splashpark will remain closed. I'm just as bummed as you are, but it's important to keep our community protected. And it won't stay closed forever! I'll try to keep you posted on when it can reopen! Send any questions to Denton Parks and Rec. Stay safe, y'all!
🥳We're so excited to announce our official timeline for programs and facilities this summer. 🥳 Some big highlights include the dog parks and playgrounds, which open June 1. The Summer Food Program will begin June 1, and many contract sports are also allowed in June. North Lakes Rec Center also opens with modified hours on June 22.
