Added in 2017 at Phalen Regional Park, this splash pad lets kids dart between the fountains and the big sandy guarded beach a few steps away. The surrounding park adds trails, a tot lot, tennis courts and regular family events.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, playground alongside, parking at this location.
When to go. Peak summer highs in St. Paul average 82°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
How long it's open. Roughly 12 weeks a year, from June to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
