About the Venue

11th & Pike Splash Pad is one of the City of Reading's public seasonal splash pads. It operates as a straightforward neighborhood cool-off spot rather than a destination water park, making it best for quick summer visits with toddlers, preschoolers, and younger kids. Official city posts confirm it runs during the warm-weather season and is part of Reading's network of free public splash pads.
