Pricing Snapshot
Lauter Park Splash Pad is a seasonal municipal splash pad in Willimantic set inside Philip Lauter Park along the riverfront. It works especially well for families who want a simple, free water-play stop without committing to a full pool day, and the adjacent waterfront can extend the outing when lifeguards are on duty. The splash pad is open daily through Labor Day during the posted season, while the broader park adds open space and a beach-area setting. Families should plan for weather-related changes and note that changing rooms are tied to waterfront staffing hours.
