Hialeah's McDonald Water Park packs a wave pool, water playground and lazy river into a weekend-and-spring-break schedule, with admission starting around $5 and shaded FUNbrella rentals on deck. Sports courts nearby handle the rest of the family.
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 Hialeah average 89°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
