Laurel Clark Fountain, often simply called the Splash Pad, is Racine's interactive downtown water feature at the bottom of Sam Johnson Parkway. It offers a scenic splash stop near Lake Michigan, the bike path, library, boat launch, skate park, and downtown businesses. The setup is especially appealing for families who want a free splash outing that can easily turn into a broader lakefront or downtown day, though the posted operating schedule is more limited than many daily municipal splash pads.
