Read more about this location

West Park's splash pad is one of the most destination-like free splash options in Carmel thanks to its larger park setting and nature-inspired design. Carmel Clay Parks describes a stream effect, canyon-style cascades, and an interactive wheel that lets kids send water onto their friends. Because the splash area sits within one of Carmel's largest parks, it works especially well for families who want trails, fishing, and a more expansive outdoor day beyond the water play itself. It operates seasonally from Memorial Day through September 30.
