Franklin Park Splash Deck is a practical neighborhood water-play stop for families in central Missoula. The splash deck sits inside a multi-use park with playground equipment, courts, restrooms, and a reservable shelter, so it works well for mixed-interest siblings and casual summer meetups. It is best for free drop-in play during the summer season and is especially useful when you want simple splash time without committing to a paid pool day.
