We would like to share this information to families incase you didn't realize they have FREE splashpad hours!

FREE Splashpad Hours!

Helpful hints:
-No lifeguards so keep an eye on your little ones around any amount of water!
-The bathrooms are pretty far from the splash pad and you have to go around the building to get to it, you can't use the one inside the pool area where people pay to get in (go potty before you go!)
-Babies 6 months and older can use sunscreen☀️
