Signaling the unofficial start of summer as it has every year since it debuted in 2004, Splash in the Boro water park will open for the 2026 season with a weekend preview Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3. The Mill Creek Park attraction then will open seven days a week beginning May 23.
According to a release from the park, Splash just completed a major refurbishment project, "bringing a fresh and enhanced experience to guests with newly updated water slides, luxury cabanas and a new walking taco stand."
"These upgrades reflect our commitment to providing a high-quality, safe, and fun environment for our community and guests," said Alex Estrada, Aquatics Division manager. "From revitalized slides to luxury cabanas and tasty new food options, there's something new for everyone this season."
This weekend, Splash will be open 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Saturday and noon–6 p.m. Sunday. For the 2026 season that begins May 23, the park will be open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; Thursday and Saturday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m.; and Sunday, noon–6 p.m.
Announcements of closures due to weather will be posted on Splash's social media platforms as needed.
Over the offseason, the park invested in comprehensive upgrades to its attractions, focusing on safety, comfort and overall guest enjoyment, the release stated. Each slide was resurfaced and repainted to create a better ride experience for visitors of all ages.
The new luxury cabanas available for rent have premium seating and personal service, offering a comfortable retreat for families and groups. Also new this season, the park's walking taco stand will be serving up snack options throughout the day.
