Leon Corlew Park & Splash Pad

Leon Corlew Park and Splash Pad is a fully accessible outdoor recreation destination located at 337 S. Main Street in Edwardsville, Illinois, behind the city's Public Safety Building. Opened in 2016, the splash pad features an array of oversized water elements ranging from a large tipping dump bucket to gentle ground bubblers, all set on a textured safety surface suitable for children of varying abilities and ages. Beyond the water play area, the complex includes a dry playground, a fitness trail, three pavilions with shade shelters, restrooms, and concessions. Admission is free for individual visitors, with a nominal group fee for day care and camp programs. Operating seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day, Leon Corlew Park and Splash Pad is a beloved free community resource for families across the Metro East St. Louis region.
