What to expect
The things that decide a trip with small children — a toilet, some shade, somewhere to sit — are exactly what listings usually leave out. Across the 2 pads in Powder Springs:
Seven Springs Water Park inside Wild Horse Creek Park goes beyond a splash pad with two water slides, a lazy river, a sprayground, and a zero-entry pool section. Admission is charged, making it Cobb County's budget water-park option.
Underground jets pop up across the plaza at Thurman Springs Park in downtown Powder Springs, near a climbing structure, ping-pong tables, and the Silver Comet Trail. The large open green space gives kids room to dry off and run.
