Elmer Thomas Splash Park — Attraction in Lawton

This is an incredible addition to Lawton/ Ft Sill. It’s affordable and fun! Staff are well trained and professional. Entry fees are low. Snack prices are low. So many places for parents to hang while the kids stay active. I saw families of all ages engaging in fun. Lounging in the lazy river, communing in the picnic area, playing volley ball and basketball.

Tips: -You can bring in your own water canteens, fill them up with ice and use their water to fill. -Don’t go into the deep area with children unless they have green bags verifying that they have the ability to pass swim tests. You can bring food and leave it in your car if needed. You will be given a band for reentry. -They do have life vests available if needed.

Overall this is a great activity for the community and I was proud that staff seemed to welcome families to this...

However, I did NOT see a “now hiring” sign posted. Upset that there was not much else to do so we went to the...

Good luck. Wasted 23 dollars to swim for 30 minutes because they closed down an hour after they opened. Cant bring your strollers for a young child to protect them from running head first into the water, while the parents get ready to swim. I understand u cant bring ur own floaties but arm floats that are for a baby should be allowed. I hope they offer drinks and food because with it being 100 degrees with young children, smells like a law suite for that 24 billion they got...
