The Town of Harrisburg is excited to have a community Splash Pad located inside Harrisburg Park!
Every person that enters the gate to the Splash Pad will need a ticket. This includes the adults that enter the splash pad with their children/group.
Groups of ten or more people must follow the guidelines for group reservations. Group reservations are managed by the Harrisburg Parks & Recreation department and tickets may not be purchased through Ticketleap. If we see a pre-registration through Ticketleap for more than nine tickets, we will contact you to complete the form and collect payment for the group reservation. The group reservation fee is $3 per person regardless of residency. Group reservations are necessary to manage the number of people on the Splash Pad during each wave and to have contact/supervisor information for large groups.
FAQ:
> What if I arrive late? If you do not cancel or arrive within 15 minutes of the beginning of your pre-registration time slot "wave", your ticket will be released.
> Will there be staff to monitor participants on the Splash Pad? The Splash Pad is not monitored by Lifeguards or Staff. We ask that parents and guardians supervise their children and their usage of the splash pad in order to look out for the safety of their own child and other children. Parents may need to assist their child on the slide, as we have found this can be a busier feature. Thank you for your help and cooperation!

Walk directly through the breezeway/covered walkway and turn left to access the Splash Pad window. An attendant will check you in. Please bring proof of your pre-registration via a printed ticket OR present on your smartphone.
