Read more about this location
Frank N. Andersen Celebration Splash Park is a zero-depth splash pad inside a larger four-acre city park in downtown Saginaw. The layout is intentionally split into three activity zones, with gentler misters and low-pressure features for little ones, a middle section with tunnels and dumping-style play, and a higher-energy area with spray cannons and ground geysers for bigger kids. Families can pair water play with the playground, skate park, walking paths, pavilion seating, and views around Linton Lake. It is one of the strongest warm-weather splash options in the region for mixed-age siblings who need more than a tiny pad.
