Howard Park Splash Pad

Howard Park Splash Pad is part of the public aquatics area at Howard Park in Athens, paired directly with the park’s outdoor pool for families who want both spray play and swim options in one stop. The county’s aquatics page lists the splash pad and pool together at the same address, with seasonal hours and a low admission fee. Howard Park also adds a pirate-ship inspired playground, basketball courts, and a picnic shelter, making it a stronger all-in-one outing than a standalone pad. This location works especially well for mixed-age siblings when one child wants shallow spray features and another wants pool time.
