Forked Deer River Park in Dyersburg includes a splash pad.
The splash pad at Forked Deer River Park remains closed due to construction.
The splash pad sits east of the farmers market within Forked Deer River Park, according to earlier reporting from State Gazette. That coverage, published while the park was still under construction, noted the splash pad was being assembled and that a playground was soon to be installed with ADA-compliant equipment, part of a broader push to make the riverfront park accessible to more families.
Splash Pad Construction and Opening Details
During park construction, the splash pad was expected to be ready for use the following summer. When it opened, the splash pad kept regular hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., based on the state Gazette's report at the time.
That reporting specified the splash pad opened on a Friday, June 13. The consistent hours made it a reliable stop for parents looking to cool off their kids without leaving town.
Forked Deer River Park has emerged as one of Dyersburg's more notable recreational investments in recent years, with a splash pad and playground equipment among its outdoor amenities. Residents can find hours, calendar and event details on the city's own Forked Deer River Park facility page.
