About the Venue

Oak Island Splashpad is a free seasonal splash spot set within the larger Middleton Park Complex. Families can pair water play with two nearby playgrounds, a walking trail, sports courts, and other recreation features in one compact area. The town also allows evening private splash pad rentals, which makes it more party-friendly than many municipal splash pads. For beach-town families and visitors, it works well as a no-cost change-of-pace from a sand-and-surf day.
