Post Falls splash pads open for summer at three parks

Post Falls families had three city splash-pad options for the summer when Beck Park, Syringa Park and Tullamore Park opened Monday at 10 a.m. The pads were set to run daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Labor Day weekend, giving parents a set routine for hot afternoons without leaving town.

The city pointed families to Beck Park at 2610 N. Howell Road, Syringa Park at 2975 Bunchgrass Drive and Tullamore Park at 3673 E. Bogie Drive. That spread gives neighborhoods on different sides of Post Falls a nearby place to stop in, whether the goal is a quick after-dinner visit or a longer summer outing built around the park.

Post Falls Parks & Facilities says the city now has 36 parks spanning more than 900 acres of park land, along with 38 miles of trails, 16 children’s playgrounds and three splash pads. The water-play sites fit into that larger system as a practical summer feature, especially for families trying to stretch recreation dollars while still getting children outdoors and active.

Beck Park is a 9-acre park off McGuire Road on Howell, in the Prairie Meadows residential development. Tullamore Park, an 8.3-acre site northwest of Poleline Avenue and Highway 41, includes a splash pad, children’s playground, basketball court, three pickleball courts, picnic shelters and an amphitheater area. For parents loading up kids and snacks, those details matter: one stop can cover water play, shade, and space to stay awhile.

Tullamore also carried a reminder for families to check the park they plan to visit. In 2025, the city said the Tullamore splash pad was closed for the rest of that season for repairs while Beck Park and Syringa Park stayed open. This year’s opening gave Post Falls another marker that the warm-weather season had arrived, with the city again setting the same 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. schedule for the splash pads through Labor Day weekend.
