Washington Park Pool is a family-friendly outdoor pool in lower Washington Park with a built-in zero-entry splash zone for younger kids and mixed-age groups. The splash features include tumble buckets with a rain shower, a water mushroom fountain, and a kiddie slide, while the larger pool adds lap lanes, a 14-foot slide, and a lazy river.

It works especially well for a half-day summer outing when you want splash-pad style play plus a full pool experience.
