About the Venue

Crawford Park Splash Pad is a family-friendly Mishawaka option along the St. Joseph River. Official city information notes a splash pad, playground equipment, picnic areas, and lighted basketball courts, making it a good park stop for siblings with different interests. It works well for a free neighborhood outing with enough amenities to stay longer than a quick cool-down.
