Read more about this location

Ocean Beach Park’s interactive spray park is part of New London’s larger beachfront destination, giving families a splash-pad option without committing only to the beach or pool. It works especially well for mixed-age groups because the spray area sits within a park that also offers an Olympic-sized pool, playground, mini golf, arcade, rides, and food service. This is a better fit for families planning a fuller summer outing than for anyone seeking a quick free neighborhood splash stop.

Accessibility

Considerations

Families needing detailed accessible route or restroom information should confirm directly with the park.
