Emmetsburg Splash Pad

The City of Emmetsburg opened the Soper Park splash pad in 2025. The splash pad is approximately 2,500 square feet, plus overflow and seating areas. It has two zones: a larger 18,00 SF family-friendly splash zone with seven above-ground water features and a smaller 700 SF toddler-friendly splash zone with three above-ground water features.

The splash pad operates seasonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day, between the hours of 11:00am – 7:00pm.

Need to report a splash pad issue? Call City Hall at 712-852-4030.
