About the Venue

Long Leaf Park Splashpad is one of the strongest all-around family water-play stops in Wilmington thanks to its larger park setting and broad amenity mix. The splash pad sits inside Long Leaf Park near reservable shelters, an inclusive playground, walking trails, sports courts, and restrooms. Families can turn a splash stop into a fuller park outing without needing to relocate. It is especially appealing for mixed-age groups because non-splashing siblings still have plenty to do nearby.
