About the Venue

Dr. Richard Showers, Sr. Splash Pad gives families a practical free splash option with stronger shade and seating than many small municipal pads. The park setup includes a large pavilion, numerous shaded benches, three benches on the pad itself, and an additional seating area with 12 picnic tables. Nearby bathrooms and locker rooms at the adjacent pool help reduce the usual hassle of outdoor splash outings. It is a strong choice for caregiver comfort and group meetups.
