Carpenter Park Splash Pad is Roswell's other official city splash pad and sits at Carpenter Park on East Buena Vista. It works best as a simple neighborhood splash stop, especially for families combining water play with the park's playground and picnic shelter setup. The city lists it as free, open daily during season, and subject to seasonal opening once inspections are complete. It is a practical choice for a shorter outing rather than a destination-style aquatic attraction.
