Metro Parks' budget water park pairs one of the area's only wave-action pools with two flumes, two speed slides, and a kiddie pool with its own slide and play features. Floats come free with admission, coolers are allowed, and kids ride half price on weekday late afternoons.
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 Nashville average 89°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
How long it's open. Roughly 10 weeks a year, from May to August. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.

Splash pads close for maintenance, run short seasons and fill up on hot weekends. There are 2 other pads within 5 miles and 6 within 15. These are the ones worth the drive — ranked by shade, toilets and cost first, then by how close they are:
