Alton Riverfront Park Splash Pad

✓ Last confirmed for the 2024 season

Alton's splash pad sits right on the Mississippi riverfront, so kids cool off with barge traffic and the Clark Bridge as the backdrop. Hours are shorter than most pads, ending at 5 p.m.

What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps parking at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Alton average 87°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
