Water cannons and rainbow-arc spouts anchor this free Santa Monica splash pad, with shaded seating for grown-ups nearby. On Saturdays the adjacent farmers market makes it easy to combine errands with water play.

What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, drinking water, playground alongside, parking at this location.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Santa Monica average only 70°F, so pick a genuinely hot day and bring a towel and something warm for afterwards.
