On the edge of NoDa and Villa Heights, Cordelia Park offers a zero-depth spray area for little ones alongside a playground, and the adjacent Cordelia Pool is available for a small entry fee. Onsite parking is limited, so arriving early helps on hot weekends.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps drinking water, playground alongside, parking at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
