In order
to provide you with the most current information and better public service, we
encourage school groups, day care groups or large service groups to call the
Tempe Town Lake office in advance of your arrival at 480-350-8625. Advance
notice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance and
understanding.
Visitors to Tempe Town Lake can experience a small storm, even when the weather
is sunny and warm.
Splash Playground at
Tempe Beach Park
lets children cool off and have fun at Tempe Town Lake. The one-acre playground teaches how a drop of
rain falls from the sky and ends up either in the ocean or becomes part of the
city water supply.
The
entrance to the playground is a metal circle of clouds that rains a light mist of
water onto visitors. Thunder claps and lightning flashes. Waterfalls turn into streams and
water rushes into canals. Children can enjoy running
through the ocean and riding toy whales.
Only about two inches of water will pool in parts of the park.
The water is kept flowing across the playground, where it is eventually
collected, filtered, cleaned, and re-circulated in a state-of-the-art system.
While the playground is very safe—an attendant
will be on-hand during operating hours—children should be watched by an adult
while enjoying Splash Playground.
The playground is located on the south bank of Tempe Town
Lake in Tempe Beach Park. Click here for directions to
Town Lake and
Tempe Beach Park.
