Located at the end of Main Street, Overlook Park "overlooks" the beauty of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. The Park includes a stage where live music is played, a brick plaza, historical information about the early settlement of the Native Americans, and public restrooms. The Overlook Park Splash Pad was constructed behind the stage at the existing park to provide a new seasonal water play area.

Splash Pad Winterized After Successful Test Period, Set to Officially Open May 2026

Last week crews winterized the Overlook Park Splash Pad following a successful community test period in October.

After a series of repairs, we opened the Splash Pad for a “test drive” throughout October while we confirmed the system would continue working as designed. And Ridgefield, you showed up! In t-shirts, swimsuits, rain jackets and boots, families came out to enjoy the simple fun of running through the water. Thank you for helping us make this test a success.

Throughout the month, the system performed as designed: recirculating, treating and spraying water safely and efficiently.

Per Clark County Public Health rules, the Splash Pad will remain off until May. During the off-season, City staff will finalize the operations plan, complete additional improvements and train more team members in daily maintenance and safety procedures.

We look forward to celebrating the official grand opening of the Splash Pad in May 2026, where we will kick off a season full of splashing and fun in the heart of Downtown Ridgefield!

    Although it may look complete above ground, construction of the splash pad is not yet finished. There are some equipment issues that are preventing the system from functioning properly and the contractor is working to fix the problems before the site can open. We do not have an opening date at this time.

    This project has taken longer than expected, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We are excited to bring this new asset to our community but want to ensure that it is not only fun, but also safe, for everyone in our community.
