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.

It is a good Memphis option for families who want both water play and open-air activity space.
