Slayter Creek Splash Pad: Hours, Location, and the One Day It Closes
If you have kids burning through the last weeks of North Texas summer, the Slayter Creek Splash Pad at 425 W. Rosamond Pkwy is your most practical option in Anna right now. The 2026 season opened May 21 and the water features are still running through the end of summer — which, given the usual heat that hangs over Collin County into September, is welcome news.
The hours are straightforward: Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday is closed every week for maintenance, so plan around that if your schedule is flexible. Show up on a Monday expecting water and you will find neither.
What Is at Slayter Creek Park
The splash pad sits inside Slayter Creek Park, a city-owned property directly off Rosamond Parkway — one of the main east-west corridors most Anna residents drive regularly anyway. The location makes it easy to fold into an errand run rather than treating it as a separate expedition.
The splash pad format means no standing water to supervise the way a pool requires, which is a practical consideration for parents of younger children. Kids move through water features at grade level, which keeps the setup accessible for a wide age range.
Timing for the Last Stretch of Summer
Anna ISD’s school year is already underway — classes began August 5 across the district’s nine campuses — so weekday visits are now limited to younger children not yet in school, remote workers who can flex their afternoon, or anyone who happens to have a weekday free. The realistic window for most families with school-age kids narrows to weekends before the season closes.
With the splash pad open until 8 p.m. on operating days, there is room for an after-dinner visit on weeknights in late August, when daylight still holds and temperatures drop enough to make outdoor time reasonable. That 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. window on a weeknight is often less crowded than a Saturday midday.
Getting There
The address is 425 W. Rosamond Pkwy, Anna, TX 75409. Rosamond Parkway runs through the center of Anna’s residential growth corridor, so most residents coming from the newer subdivisions on the city’s east and north sides are already familiar with the road. Parking at Slayter Creek Park is on-site.
One Reminder Before You Go
The single scheduling note worth repeating: Monday closures are every week, not occasional. The city uses that day for routine maintenance to keep the equipment running through the season. If you are coordinating with grandparents, neighbors, or other families, confirm the day of the week before committing to a meetup there.
For current status or any updates to operating hours as the season winds down, the city’s official splash pad page at annatexas.gov is the place to check. The city has kept that page updated since the May 21 opening, and any changes to the closing date would appear there first.
