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
