Read more about this location
Sherman Manning Aquatic Facility pairs an outdoor community pool with a family-friendly water spray deck, making it one of the clearest splash-pad fits in the Upper Valley. The spray area includes spouting fountains and a water tunnel, while the broader facility adds zero-depth entry, a spiral slide, a mushroom waterfall, picnic space, shade structures, and family changing rooms. This is a practical summer option for Hartford-area families who want splash play plus full pool access in one stop. Since it is municipally operated and weather-dependent, hours and closures can shift with conditions and programming.
