Good to Go!:
Excellent splash pad with lot’s of fun water sprays.
Activated by a switch on the post at the North side of the splash pad. Lot’s of shade & a few benches to sit on. The play structure is a nice added feature when the kids want a change.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
No washrooms.
Quick Tips for Others:
Free street parking.
Bring a blanket and find a spot to spend a few hours as the little ones play in the water.

I like that the are is fenced in. The splash pad was excellent for toddlers, lots of different spouts of water that circulated on and off, so it was a suprise when they went on.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
The playground equipment made me very uncomfortable because it was so high and there were openings where a running toddler could stumble and fall through. And if you have a toddler like mine you can not say “Yes” you can play on the splash pad and “NO” you can not go up on the playground. So unfortunately, even though I loved the splash pad so much, I would not go back until he was much much older, at which point he probably wouldnt get as much out of the splash pad.
The area for sitting and putting out blankets is fairly small, but seems to get some shade during the day which is very nice. There are no washrooms, but for children in diapers there are garbage bins to toss the dirty ones.

Good to Go!:
- There’s lots of shaded areas beside the playground and splash pad.
- The splash pad has big and smaller jets for the younger kids. (You can see the tall snake in the pics. There’s also a shorter elephant and small jets that come out from where the concrete wall is.)
- The park is enclosed and fenced in from the roadway.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
- The park, playground equipment and the splash pad are small.
- Not much seating. There are a few benches. No picnic tables. (There’s a concrete wall bordering part of the splash pad that you can sit on if you don’t mind your feet getting wet.)
- Street parking is available but even on a weekday it’s not easy to find a spot.
