About the Venue

Lawrence W. Inlow Park stands out among Carmel splash pads because Carmel Clay Parks specifically notes its strong fit for kids of all ages and the rare addition of a water slide. That makes it especially appealing for siblings with different confidence levels who still want to stay in one place. Families looking for a free splash option with a little more variety than basic ground sprays should put this one high on the list. It operates seasonally from Memorial Day through September 30.
