Playground & Splash Pad
Mariposa Splash Pad
Little ones have another opportunity to soak up some fun at the Mariposa Playground! This splash pad and tot lot for children ages 2 to 5 is located on the south end of our campus, next to the Butterfly Habitat.
The Mariposa splash pad was made possible by the State of Nevada with support from the Springs Preserve Foundation. The run-off water from this splash pad is treated and returned to Lake Mead, which extends our community’s limited water supply.
Main Children's Playground
Located in the Crossroad Commons near the Springs Amphitheater, our main children's playground was designed and inspired by kids and features recreational equipment and play structures, including musical instruments, interactive elements, and much more!
The playground offers little ones an opportunity to escape into a recreated desert canyon environment and experience all that comes along with it. Oversized replicas of wildlife are a main focal point of the playground, including a gigantic replica of a Peregrine Falcon perched high upon a rock, the recreated skeleton of a Wooly Mammoth partially buried in the sand, and a massive concrete Sidewinder snake winding alongside the playground’s edge.
Due to extreme heat advisories throughout the summer months, the Main Children's Playground may close early for the health and safety of guests and employees.
