Impact During Construction

The splash pad and pool will not be impacted by the first phase of construction. The bathrooms in the pool shelter will be available when the pool and splash pad are open, and the two picnic shelters in this area are available to rent through the City of Buffalo’s website. 

The large splash pad and Centennial Pool at the entrance of the park provide a cool respite for children, families, and adults during the Buffalo summer. Both amenities are run by the City of Buffalo Division of Parks and Recreation.

It’s Free!

All visitors will need a free City of Buffalo Pool ID to access city pools before they reopen next summer. Each household member must have their own ID, and parents or guardians must register children under 18.
