With temperatures climbing across Utah County this week, families in Lelev and nearby cities have several free public splash pads and affordable municipal outdoor and indoor-outdoor pools available to cool off.
In Lehi, two free splash pads are currently open for the season. The Ivory Ridge Splash Pad at 3200 N 500 W operates Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Labor Day. This location features multiple water sprayers and is part of a larger park that includes playgrounds, basketball courts, and pavilions.
Lehi City Family Park at 1999 N 600 E offers a larger splash pad spanning approximately 420 square feet with a waterfall, sprayers, and a river-like feature. This 85-acre all-abilities park operates Monday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to sunset from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
For those seeking traditional swimming, the Lehi Outdoor Pool at 451 E 200 S is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6:50 p.m. The heated Olympic-size facility includes an aqua climbing wall, a 1-meter diving board, two flume water slides, and a baby pool. Admission is free for ages 0-2, $5 for ages 3-11, $6 for ages 12 and up, and $5 for seniors 60 plus. A Family Night option is available on Mondays from 4 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. for $25.
The Legacy Center at 123 N Center Street provides an indoor leisure pool with summer hours running Monday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8:50 p.m. Daily fees for the center start at $5 for children ages 3-11 and $6 for adults and youth 12-17.
Nearby cities offer additional cooling options. Highland's free Town Center Splash Pad is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Labor Day, though it closes daily from 2:50 p.m. to 4 p.m. for cleaning and only operates when temperatures are above 75 degrees without storms or high winds. In Eagle Mountain, the Cory B. Wride Memorial Park splash pad is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. weather permitting, while the Nolen Park splash pad remains closed this season due to water conservation efforts.
Other regional options include Pleasant Grove's Cook Family Park, which features a pirate-ship-themed splash pad, and Alpine's Creekside Park splash pad. American Fork's Fitness Center offers leisure and competition pools with daily admission ranging from $5 to $6 depending on age. For a larger paid experience, Splash Summit Waterpark in Provo features over 15 water attractions including a wave pool and slides.
Most free splash pads recycle water where possible and may pause operations for maintenance or cleaning. Visitors are advised to supervise children, bring sunscreen and towels, and confirm specific hours or heat-related updates on city websites or by calling local parks departments before visiting.
