Overall assessment: A great spot to cool off and build sand castles! Not too many splash pads have sand and a water post meant just for sand castles! It's a great spot to spend the day and bring a picnic lunch to eat at one of the many picnic tables; or just spend an afternoon beating the summer heat. There is a small post by the fence with a button that activates the splash pad area. *NOTE per the town; no glass or pets in the area of the splash pad, and water shoes are recommended.
