Osswald Park Splash Pad

✓ Last confirmed for the 2025 season

Osswald Park stacks a free splash pad on top of an unusually deep amenity list for a city park: a driving range, 3-hole golf course, tennis, racquetball, volleyball and a jogging trail. It is northwest Fort Lauderdale's best free water-play option.

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 Fort Lauderdale average 90°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
