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.
