Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the Big Splash is closed because of weather?
Call the hotline at 614-277-1818 for closure information.
May I bring in a flotation device for my infant?
A U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket is the only acceptable form of floatation device allowed in The Big Splash.
I have a Grove City mailing address, but pay my taxes to Columbus. Am I considered a resident?
To qualify as a resident, a person must live or work in Grove City or Jackson Township. Please keep in mind that this does not include all of ZIP code 43123 (your ZIP code only determines who delivers your mail). Grove City parcel IDs start with 040. For The Big Splash, “residents” also can live in unincorporated Jackson Township (parcel IDs starting with 160). Visit FranklinCountyAuditor.com to check your address. The City of Grove City Fair Share Policy: non-residents who pay income tax to the City of Grove City are now eligible to participate in Parks and Recreation programs at resident rates. This applies to Big Splash season passes, youth sports registration and activities. To be eligible, non-residents must annually provide proof of employment on company letterhead with the signature of the personnel director or a current pay stub showing the employer’s address. To purchase a day pass to The Big Splash, a non-resident must be accompanied by a resident or a season pass holder (resident or non-resident).
My family member or friend is in the park; can you page them?
Unfortunately, no. The messaging system is strictly for emergencies and hourly announcements.
Can my child have his/her birthday party at the Big Splash?
The Big Splash does not currently offer special accomodations for birthday parties.
I have a season pass card from last season. Do I keep it?
Season pass cards issued for the 2012 season should be kept and reused each year going forward. Any cards issued in 2011 or earlier can be discarded.
My child is just short of the height limit on the slide; can he/she go down with my permission?
The height restrictions are for safety. Riders must be of the proper height to go down, without exception.
May we reserve the shelter house located just outside the gates of the Big Splash?
The shelter house is open to the public; reservations cannot be made.
How do I sign up my child for swim lessons?
You may sign your child up at City Hall, The Big Splash or
online
.
May I bring in a cooler/my own food and drinks?
Yes. Personal-sized coolers (16”x12” or smaller) are allowed. However, no glass containers, pizza boxes, tobacco, alcohol or illegal substances are permitted in the park.
I am not going to swim. Do I have to pay admission?
Anyone entering the park must have a season pass or pay admission. Likewise, the restrooms at The Big Splash are not available to anyone not paying admission.
What are the hours of operation?
The 2013 season begins Saturday, May 25. Season-pass holder hours are 11 a.m.-8 p.m. and general admission hours are 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday hours are noon-7 p.m. The facility closes for the day when South-Western City Schools are in session from Tuesday, May 28 through Thursday, May 30 as well as Wednesday, Aug. 21 through Friday, Aug. 23, and Monday, Aug. 26 through Friday, Aug. 30.
