Read more about this location
The Wenzel Family Plaza Splash Pad is a downtown Marshfield water feature built into a year-round public plaza and event space. The city describes the plaza as a community square with picnic tables, benches, a water feature, and a large performance stage, making it a different kind of splash stop than a neighborhood spray park. It works especially well for families already spending time downtown who want a casual cool-down rather than a playground-centered park outing. Expect more of an interactive plaza fountain feel than a heavily featured spray park.
