The splash pad at Queenswood Heights Centennial Park Splash is nice. There are two separate water play areas separated by some picnic tables under some tall trees.
One of the splashpads has two ground geysers, two water cannons, two really high shooting jets, followed by the five bells dumping tower.
The other splash pad is a smaller, circular water park with a single blue water tower and four ground sprinklers. We thought it would be an old school (wimpy) water post, but it’s actually not bad. read more
