About the Venue

Adams Pool Splash Pad is a town-operated water-play area inside Adams Park in Peterborough. The town describes it as a zero-depth splash pad with numerous spraying apparatus, connected to Adams Pool and surrounded by a larger recreation complex with playgrounds, courts, fields, gazebos, and a pump track. This is one of the clearest splash-pad fits in the Monadnock Region for families who want an easy summer water stop with more to do before or after.
