About the Venue

Dupont Splash Pad is a municipal warm-weather splash spot on Mason Street in west Manchester. It offers simple, no-pool-needed water play that works well for toddlers, preschoolers, and younger elementary kids who want to cool off without committing to a full swim day. The city lists the splash pad as accessible to persons with disabilities, and visits are typically easiest as a short neighborhood outing rather than a long destination trip.
