Ground-level fountain jets at this open-air shopping and dining center double as an impromptu splash pad, and kids are welcome to play. Free parking and surrounding restaurants make it a convenient Valley cool-off stop.
This free city splash pad sits within one of the San Fernando Valley's largest parks, next to a playground, outdoor fitness equipment, and a seasonal swimming pool. The recirculating sprays give Valley kids a no-cost way to cool off on triple-digit days.
