Read more about this location

The Johnston Town Center Splash Pad is a free seasonal splash area in The Yard at Johnston Town Center. Water is activated by stepping on sensors, which makes it especially playful for kids who like cause-and-effect features. Because it sits in a town-center setting rather than a traditional neighborhood park, it can pair nicely with nearby events and errands while still functioning as a straightforward splash stop.
