Public Pools and Splash Pads

Sunshine, splashes, and swim time are always in season in Overland Park.

Outdoor pools offer towering slides, shaded lounge spots, zero-entry zones, and lots of summer fun.

Splash pads at parks around town operate May 31 through September 30 from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. daily. These free cool down spots are bursting with fountains, jets, and colorful features that keep kids playing.

In colder months, or when you’re in the mood for a swim minus the sun, head indoors. Indoor pools in Overland Park are great for lap swimmers, family play days, or just a low-key way to unwind and float it out.

Need a place to stay and swim? Plenty of Overland Park hotels offer indoor or outdoor pools, so you can keep the water vibes going long after checkout.
