Knowlton Park Splash Pad is Ellsworth's city-run outdoor splash area at Knowlton Park. Families get a straightforward warm-weather stop with active water jets, a changing room facility, seasonal restrooms, and the flexibility to pair water play with the rest of the park. It is best for toddlers through elementary-age kids who want a quick splash outing rather than a full pool day. The city posts clear seasonal operating details, including temperature-dependent water activation.
