About the Venue

Elizabeth Park Splash Pad is one of Akron's city-run splash pads, operating seasonally with simple drop-in access. It works best for families who want a free neighborhood water-play stop rather than a full pool day. Expect an outdoor municipal splash pad setup with weather-dependent operations and no on-site supervision.
