PRAIRIE CREEK PARK
Near Mulberry
A downtown park built for family outings, with a splash pad to cool off on hot days and the Farmers Bank Performance Center Stage.
Getting Here
Who it’s for?
Families with young kids make this their go-to hot-weather stop, since the splash pad means swimsuits and towels instead of a whole pool trip.
Food nearby
Bring your own, or grab something downtown beforehand.
Best time
Splash pad typically runs late May through Labor Day, weather permitting. No RSVP needed to visit the park, but check the events calendar for what’s booked at the Performance Center Stage.
