The Statesville Splash Pad opening has been delayed due to the extreme drought conditions and water restrictions currently in effect for the City of Statesville.

Unlike the Statesville Leisure Pool, the Splash Pad does not operate on a recirculating water system, resulting in higher water usage. To support water conservation during Stage D3 Extreme Drought conditions, the Splash Pad will remain closed until conditions improve.

City staff will closely monitor drought conditions and water restrictions and will provide updates regarding a potential opening date as they become available. 

For more information about the current drought restrictions, please visit the City of Statesville website here.
