McKie's sprayground in Northside is attached to a CRC pool, so a daily pass or membership is required while the pool is open. Passes are inexpensive, running roughly $1 for young kids up to $3 for adults.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps 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 Cincinnati average 87°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
How long it's open. Roughly 13 weeks a year, from June to August. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.

Splash pads close for maintenance, run short seasons and fill up on hot weekends. There are 11 other pads within 5 miles and 21 within 15. These are the ones worth the drive — ranked by shade, toilets and cost first, then by how close they are:
