Kingsport Splash Pad closed for repairs
The Kingsport Splash Pad (1101 Martin Luther King Boulevard) will be closed today and Tuesday (August 16) in order to make repairs to the drain in the pump room. The city anticipates reopening the splash pad on August 17.
The City of Kingsport apologizes for any inconvenience and recommends visiting Kingsport Centennial Park on Main Street to enjoy the water jets.
The splash pad is active from 10:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. every day during the summer. The splash pad can be turned on during these hours by rubbing the silver activator pad located on the wall between the restrooms.
The splash pad is a zero-depth aquatic play structure that allows children to experience different types of water environments. Because the splash pad is a zero-depth facility, it does not have a lifeguard on duty, so all children must be supervised during their visit.
Features of the splash pad include surface water jets, a snake head water spray, run-through loops with water jets, rotating water cannons, water buckets and a palm tree with water jets.
