25 Things to Do in Rogers
-------------------------

\#8: Splash Park
================

The Splash Park is the perfect place to cool off on those hot days and it is free! Located adjacent to the [Rogers Activity Center](/basketball/rogers-activity-center) (RAC), the park features 10 in ground sprinklers, three water buckets and two movable water cannons. If you are looking for an all-day adventure that is better suited for all ages, then you need to visit the [Rogers Aquatics Center](/listings/rogers-aquatics-center/243/).

-----------------------------------

- The Splash Park is mostly geared for ages 1 to 8 years old.
- There are a few benches to sit on inside the fenced area, but they can fill up fast so it might be a good idea to pack a chair as well.
- Pack a snack and plenty of water for those hot days.
- The area is not shaded, so bring extra sunscreen or wear a sun shirt.
- If the water is not on, cover the black knob on the railroad crossing sign with your hands and the water comes on!

**Other Fun Stuff**
-------------------

Just south of the Splash Park is the Skate Park. Kids love to watch the “big” kids skateboard or do tricks on their BMX bikes here. There is also a playground in the same vicinity along with restrooms and changing area. If you’re lucky, you’ll be there when the ice cream truck makes a visit, so bring some cash just in case or [keep cool in Rogers](/blogs/keep-cool-rogers) by supporting local businesses. The frozen treat provides a nice break from the water! The area is also know for the murals at the skatepark, sidewalks, and throughout the entire park. You can also make a day of checking out all the [murals in Rogers](/articles/urban-hike-highlights-inspirational-murals-whole-family-can-enjoy)!
