Editor's Take

A strong pick for active families because the splash pad is only one part of a much more versatile park setup.

About the Venue

David Carnes Park Splash Pad is part of the BlueCross Healthy Place at David Carnes Park in Whitehaven. The splash pad is backed by two playgrounds, a half-mile walking trail, outdoor fitness features, a challenge course, a pavilion, and a turf field, so it works well for mixed-age family visits. Compared with a stand-alone pad, this one offers more room to turn a short cool-down into a fuller park outing. It is a good Memphis option for families who want both water play and open-air activity space.
