Read more about this location

Guthridge Park Splashpad sits inside one of Hiawatha's most feature-rich parks, making it a strong choice for families who want more than a quick splash stop. The official park details place the splashpad near rentable pavilions, playground areas, restrooms, courts, and a paved walking trail, which adds real flexibility for sibling groups and longer stays. It is a particularly good fit for birthday meetups and casual group gatherings built around outdoor play rather than a formal hosted party room.
