Read more about this location
Phillips Park Splash Pad is a simple outdoor water-play area for children under 13 located beside the Phillips Park Family Aquatic Center and outside the David and Karen Stover Visitor Center. It works best for families who want a quick, free cool-down without committing to paid pool admission. The bigger draw is the setting: this splash pad sits inside one of Aurora’s signature parks with a zoo, playgrounds, picnic areas, trails, and other attractions that can turn a short splash stop into a fuller day out.
