Highland Park Splash Pad is part of Meridian's historic Highland Park campus and sits beside the park pool, playground, picnic pavilions, duck pond, and other family attractions. It works well for families who want a simple warm-weather water stop without committing to a full-scale waterpark day. The surrounding park amenities make it easier to turn a splash visit into a longer outing, especially for mixed-age siblings. Summer operations and pricing have changed by season, so current admission and hours should be checked before heading out.
