This tidy neighborhood pad features a rainbow mister, jumping fountains, dump buckets and a wiggle-worm spray, backed by an unusually generous supply of picnic tables and shaded benches. Clean restrooms and grassy lawns make it easy to stretch a visit into an afternoon.
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 St. Anthony Village average 83°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
