Charles H. Wilson Park Splash Pad

✓ Last confirmed for the 2026 season

Ground fountains erupt from the pavement beside a grassy knoll in Torrance's largest park, near an accessible treehouse play structure. The open layout suits kids who like to run between sprays.

What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, parking at this location.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Torrance average only 70°F, so pick a genuinely hot day and bring a towel and something warm for afterwards.

How long it's open. Roughly 21 weeks a year, from May to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
