About the Venue

Ellison Park Splash Pad is one of the more substantial public splash pads in the region, built around a raised play structure with more than 20 spray elements plus additional ground-level features. It works especially well for families with mixed ages because toddlers and older kids both have designated play interest, and the larger park adds playgrounds, courts, trails, and a big pavilion. This is a strong option when you want a full outdoor summer outing instead of just a quick water stop.
