About the Venue

LaCrone Park Splash Pad is part of a larger five-acre city park in Kalamazoo's Northside neighborhood. Families get the water-play area plus a playground, shaded picnic areas, grills, trails, toilets, and courts that make it easier to turn a splash stop into a longer park visit. It is one of the better all-around public splash pad options in Kalamazoo for mixed-age siblings.
