Twin Falls Splash Pad at First Federal Park Near Completion

Twin Falls Splash Pad at First Federal Park Nears Completion

The Twin Falls Splash Pad at First Federal Park, which has been a favorite community space for nearly a decade, is almost ready to reopen. The pad was closed in May 2024 to undergo a resurfacing project, in conjunction with other park repairs to fix damage and ensure a safe environment for children and families.

Funding and Support

The City of Twin Falls allocated $369,000 in recovery funds for the project, while First Federal Bank generously contributed an additional $60,000 for the necessary repairs.

Jason Meyerhoeffer, President of First Federal Bank, expressed the significance of the park:
"For nearly a decade, the park has served Twin Falls and the broader community, becoming a favorite gathering spot. It has especially developed into a destination for families and children, seeing extensive use and enjoyment. This popularity, over the years, has necessitated the planned updates."

Current Progress: When Will The Splash Pad Open?

Earlier this summer, the playground portion of the park underwent repairs. Now, the splash pad is nearly complete, with the concrete repoured and fully cured. Crews are adding finishing touches to the pumps and filtration system to ensure everything is in working order. The Splash Pad is expected to be back up and running no later than July, 31, 2024.

Historical Significance of First Federal Park

First Federal Bank donated the park to the City of Twin Falls in 2015. The park features an all-inclusive playground and the first splash pad in Twin Falls. This isn't the first time the park and splash pad has undergone maintenance; in the summer of 2023, the splash pad was temporarily closed for repairs due to damage.
