Overall assessment: We certainly love splash pads with interactive elements, and finding two manual spinning water spout elements here was a neat surprise! The tall spray trees have a very cool effect as the branches and leaves cause the water to spread widely and mist all around them. However, the highlight for us was the runoff creek just around the corner by the back of the splash pad. It is filled with the runoff from the splash pad and has a large river rock bed. With the seasonal washroom and ship themed playground you can spend all day at this splash pad and park!
