About the Venue

Kenneth R. Dunn Municipal Pool at Truxtun Park is the clearest fit for this region's splash-pad directory niche. The City of Annapolis officially shows a splash pad as part of the facility, alongside a larger outdoor pool, waterslides, lap lane access, restrooms, and a snack shack. It works especially well for families who want younger-kid splash play but also want the option of a fuller pool outing with older siblings.
