Read more about this location
Santa Fe Park Splash Pad sits inside one of Chillicothe's most distinctive family parks, where splash play shares the outing with a train engine playground, a tall twisty slide, pavilion space, and a short walking path. It is a strong pick for families who want more than a splash stop but still prefer a free public park setting over a pool. The park's variety makes it especially easy to entertain siblings with different interests.
