Set inside Peabody Adventure Park next to the climbing wall in downtown Riverfront Park, this pad welcomes splashers of every age. Its spot beside the Junction Bridge makes it an easy add-on to a riverside walk along the Arkansas River.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Little Rock average 93°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
