Read more about this location

Founders Square Splash Pad sits in one of Portage's family-friendly civic park spaces and pairs nicely with the adjacent playground and walking path. It is a practical pick for mixed-age siblings because the larger park adds more to do before or after water play. The setting is best for relaxed drop-in visits rather than a structured destination experience.
