Richmond Heights runs a sprayground whose nozzles fire in a sequenced pattern, which turns the pad into a game of chase for kids trying to guess where water pops up next. Dedicated splash-pad hours run later into the evening than many nearby pads.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps playground alongside at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Richmond Heights average 88°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
