Read more about this location

Camden Park’s water feature is a more natural-style splash stop than a traditional spray pad, making it a nice fit for families who want lower-intensity water play in a shaded park setting. Official park information highlights gentle cascades over rock formations, an old-fashioned farm pump, an Archimedes screw kids can turn, and a mushroom pump for added splash play. The area also sits near other family amenities including a rock wall, slide, games cart, and book cart, so it works well as part of a broader park outing.
