This county park pairs its free splash pad with two playgrounds and outdoor fitness equipment. It gives east Compton families a walkable place to cool down all summer.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Compton average only 79°F, so pick a genuinely hot day and bring a towel and something warm for afterwards.
How long it's open. Roughly 22 weeks a year, from May to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
