About the Venue

Eisenhower Park Splash Pad is Milford's seasonal public splash pad inside the city's largest park. The official recreation listing describes it as a splash pad for children of all ages, with accessible restrooms and seating available nearby. It works especially well for families who want a straightforward water-play stop without pool admission, and the larger park adds trails, playground time, and room to spread out before or after splashing.
