Harrold Place Park Splash Pad was a charming, lovely surprise of a park nestled in a quiet street. The splash pad is actually quite big with a long, rotating cycle of water in it’s structures. The main features of the splash pad are two large arches on either side of the pad and two tall serpentine posts that spray water out of the ends. This is a nice splash pad for more hesitant splashers as there is a lot of room between the structures and the water pressure isn’t too high.

We have three words for Winterwood Park Splash Pad: holy water pressure! This newer splashpad has some standard features like a fire hydrant and tall aqua dome post, but what make the splash pad interesting is the incredible amount of water that blasts out if it’s structures. The aqua dome posts usually gently dome water out the top…this one blasted out. Similarly the usually medium sized fountain sprays were as tall as the surrounding trees. Impressive and definitely a way to get very wet. read more
