Opened in May 2025, this ocean-themed splash pad replaced the park's original wading pool that closed in 2018. Kids run through water jets among sea turtle, starfish, and dolphin sculptures.
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.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Sacramento average 93°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
