About the Venue

Lakeside Park Splash Pad is one of the easiest family water-play stops in Fond du Lac, set next to the playground inside the city’s large lakeside park. Families can pair splash time with the accessible playground, restrooms, rides, gardens, and other park attractions for a fuller outing. It is best for warm-weather drop-in play and especially useful when you want a free option with plenty of surrounding amenities.
