Read more about this location
River's Edge Park Splash Pad is one of the strongest family splash pad stops in the St. Cloud area because it sits inside a large, amenity-rich city park. Families get free seasonal splash play plus shaded seating, restrooms, playgrounds, picnic areas, trails, water fountains, and plenty of room to stretch a short splash stop into a longer outing. It is especially useful for siblings with different interests since the park offers much more than the splash pad alone.
