Pricing Snapshot
Haymarket Plaza Splash Pad is an interactive downtown water-play feature built into the public plaza at the confluence of the Eau Claire and Chippewa Rivers. Families get a wide-open splash area with fountain jets rather than a fully programmed spray-park structure, making it a good fit for quick cool-down stops, mixed-age play, and pairing with other downtown plans. Seating and public gathering space are built into the plaza, but the setting is open-access and more urban than park-like. This is a strong pick for a short free outing if you want a central Eau Claire splash stop rather than a destination-style spray ground.
