A castle-themed, wheelchair-accessible destination playground whose small splash pad is scaled for toddlers rather than cannonballing big kids. The combination draws families from across St. Charles County.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Lake St. Louis average 87°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
