Splash Pads and Splash Parks are popping up all over the metro Phoenix area. With 5 months of summer, it's no wonder that splash playgrounds are one of the most requested amenities of the various Parks and Recreation Departments around the Valley of the Sun.
What is a splash pad or splash park? A splash park is a public area where spraying or shooting water is provided. This makes it a great place to take kids that don't yet know how to swim. As an added benefit, most of them are in public parks, so they are free!
Here are some splash parks around town. Why not visit them all for variety?** Remember, even though there's no deep water at these splash playgrounds, you still need to watch your children at all times and follow the park rules.
**Some parks may have residency requirements for use of the facilities.
