QUEENSWOOD RIDGE PARK Splashpad (RENOVATED)

The newly renovated Queenswood Ridge Park is a significant improvement over the old one. (It used to be an old wooden post splashpad with a red water slide. Check out the old photos here.)

Now it’s a modern water park with two archways to run throw, a bunch of ground sprinklers spraying water into the air, 3 dumping buckets, and of course, water cannons to shoot your friends.

It’s a nice improvement – there’s still plenty of shade in the park, a large hill, fields, a running track, a rink, and of course, several play structures. read more

LAWSON PARK Splash Pad (Renovated)

The splash pad at Lawson Park is insane. There’s so much stuff here, we didn’t know where to start.

This used to be a bizarre giant wooden post that didn’t work, but the city renovated it into a very nice modern splashpad with lots of flower and leaf water structures. (Check out this google map satellite image of the renovation)

They have a great garden theme: giant spinning flowers, leaves that spray you, twisty water guns, and yellow rings to run through. There’s also a little area that’s kind of separate that doesn’t have powerful stuff – the 3 gentle water gushers here would be perfect for little splashers. read more

FAWN MEADOW PARK Splash Pad

We didn’t see any deer when we went, but there’s a fantastic splash pad at Fawn Meadow Park. (We did see a deer crossing sign driving in, however.)

This is a new park, but already there’s a lot going for it. The gazebo with the picnic table is a nice shady spot to watch your kids splash around, but there may not be enough room for everybody. One family brought their own beach umbrella and camped out on the grass which was a great idea. When the trees get bigger, this will be a very nice park. read more

WHITEROCK PARK Splash Pad

Whiterock Park Splash Pad is a simple splash pad with a blue post that sprays water out one side.

The splash pad is located on the border of the Aviation Parkway so there are plenty of trees.  There are a few older playstructures beside the pad.

CUMMINGS PARK Splash Pad

A pretty basic splash pad at Cummings Park, but the painted flower around the water jet makes a nice touch.

CLAUDETTE CAIN PARK Splash Pad

Claudette Cain Park Splash Pad is a newer, fun pad with many fun structures and a long cycle.  It’s main attractions are several tall flower posts.

The splash pad is located at one end of the sprawling, beautiful Claudette Cain Park.  This wooded park is nestled along the river and is well worth a visit.  There is tons of shade, a large gazebo with tables, two playstructures, two port-a-potties, and a system of paved paths running through the park.  This is a place where you could easily pass a day. read more
