Capaha Park Splash Pad is a free city-run splash pad inside one of Cape Girardeau's best-known parks. Families activate the water features at a hand-print pedestal, and the fenced layout makes it easier to supervise younger kids than many open spray areas. It works especially well for a short summer cool-down or for pairing with the rest of Capaha Park. Water shoes are recommended, and adult supervision is required.
