Universal Paves Over Shrek’s Swamp Splash Pad in DreamWorks Land

Overview

• New photos posted this week show the former water play area flattened and replaced with stamped concrete after construction walls came down.
• Shrek’s Swamp for Little Ogres opened with DreamWorks Land in June 2024, then was walled off and demolished by late September before being paved over.
• Universal Orlando has issued no statement detailing why the splash pad was removed.
• As of February 11, the official webpage still depicted children playing in the splash pad, creating confusion for guests planning visits.
• Character meet-and-greets and nearby play features remain available, though visitors note the loss of a practical cooling spot for families.
