Shade: shade structure over two park benches between playground and splash pad, some shade will be available from the surrounding trees once they mature
Overall assessment: The stream with the small bridge was definitely the highlight for us at this splash pad. You can stand on the bridge and get a bit wet with the mist and water on a good day, and a bit more soaked on a windy day! The in ground jets offered a really high display of water blasts, which were a bit too aggressive for our three year old (CAUTION: definitely watch eyes if anyone decides they want to step on the jets and then let go, the water pressure is a bit intense!). This is a great community splash pad that has a smaller play structure beside it (we didn't enjoy as it was still taped off). Our video really shows the best this splash pad has to offer.
