Meridian's flagship park pairs a pirate-themed splash pad with the sprawling Adventure Island playground next door. Expect crowds on hot afternoons since it is one of the busiest family parks in the city.
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 Meridian average 91°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
