Splash Parks
Orange City has two splash parks located at Mill Lake and Veterans Memorial. The splash parks cannot be rented, they are first come first serve.
The splash parks are not operated manually, they are controlled by a timer. During the regular season April through October, the splash parks are open daily from 10AM to 6PM. Note: The splash parks have a lightning detection system so if there is a storm within 20 miles both splash pads will not be operational.
Camps, afterschool programs, daycare, schools are required to complete a reservation request to use the splash park.
