A large, colorful splash pad in the walkable Murray Hill neighborhood with a big climbing structure right next door for dry play and some welcome shade for parents. It is one of the busier free pads on the Westside.
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 Jacksonville average 91°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
How long it's open. Roughly 24 weeks a year, from May to October. 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 7 other pads within 5 miles and 17 within 15. These are the ones worth the drive — ranked by shade, toilets and cost first, then by how close they are:
