Built as part of an acclaimed park redevelopment in Wellston, this pad mixes spray jets of varying sizes so both timid toddlers and drenching-seeking big kids find their level. It anchors one of the best modern neighborhood parks in mid-county.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps drinking water, 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 Wellston average 89°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
