This neighborhood Brookhaven splash pad features a water curtain and jet sprays beside a playground stocked with ride-on toys, a pavilion, and a rec center with bathrooms. It is free and low-key compared with the region's bigger spraygrounds.
Lynwood Park's free splash pad has a zero-entry design with ramp access and a maximum depth of about one foot, plus water cannons, slides, and sprays. The gentle grading makes it especially friendly for toddlers and kids with mobility needs.
