Overlook Park Splash Pad

The Splash Pad with the jets on looking out at the Refuge.

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 will be constructed behind the stage at the existing park and provide a new seasonal water play area.

Project Background

This project proposes the construction of a splash pad behind the stage at the existing park. The splash pad will incorporate a combination of natural elements and ground level features for water play with the following considerations:

Approximately 2,000 square feet
Recirculating system
Rain Garden
Direct discharge to sewer

Next Steps

At this time, there is no estimate for when the Splash Pad will open. We do not expect it to be open for the 2024 season. We recognize the frustration this causes and assure you that we are doing everything within our power to bring this much-anticipated feature online. We will continue to provide project updates on this page.

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.
