Rio de Los Angeles State Park Splash Pad

✓ Last confirmed for the 2023 season

Also known as Taylor Yard, this riverside state park in Cypress Park has a free splash pad operated through LA City Recreation and Parks. Water play sits alongside walking paths, sports fields, and a large playground near the LA River.

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 Los Angeles average only 79°F, so pick a genuinely hot day and bring a towel and something warm for afterwards.
