Read more about this location

Lighthouse Point Park Splash Pad is one of the City of New Haven's official splash pad locations. It is part of Lighthouse Point Park, giving families a bigger-destination feel than a neighborhood splash lot thanks to the surrounding park setting. This works especially well for families who want to combine splash time with a longer outdoor outing rather than making a quick in-and-out stop.
