Bringing Water Play to Dillon State Park

Dillon State Park has introduced an exciting new way for visitors to enjoy the outdoors with the addition of a brand-new splash pad, provided exclusively by DWA Recreation. Located along the Licking River in Nashport, Ohio, Dillon State Park is a popular destination for boating, camping, fishing, and outdoor exploration. The new splash pad adds an interactive water-play experience to the park's beach-area improvements, creating another opportunity for families and visitors to enjoy time together outdoors. As the exclusive splash pad provider, DWA Recreation helped bring this new recreational amenity to life as part of the park's broader improvements.

A New Destination for Water Play

Splash pads offer engaging outdoor recreation for visitors of different ages and abilities. With interactive water features and a play-focused environment, they provide opportunities for cooling off, active play, and family connection. The new Dillon State Park splash pad complements the area's additional improvements, helping create a more inviting and versatile recreational destination.

Part of a Larger Park Improvement Project

The new splash pad is one of several improvements to Dillon State Park's beach area. The project also includes:

• A new shelter house
• An ADA-accessible lake-view plaza
• Two cantilever shade structures
• A fully remodeled ADA-accessible restroom building
• Resurfaced tennis and basketball courts
• A new tennis netting system
• Two new pickleball courts

These enhancements provide visitors with more ways to play, relax, gather, and enjoy the park's natural setting.

Creating More Opportunities for Outdoor Recreation

At DWA Recreation, we believe splash pads can do more than provide a place to cool off. They can help bring people together, encourage active outdoor play, and add value to parks and public spaces. Our work at Dillon State Park reflects our commitment to supporting recreation projects that create memorable experiences for communities across Ohio and Kentucky.
