Pro Tips

  1. 1.Bring water shoes or sandals as the concrete surface can get hot under the summer sun, and apply sunscreen generously since there's limited shade at the splash pad itself.
  2. 2.Pack towels, a change of clothes, and a reusable water bottle for hydration. There are change facilities at the adjacent athletic park.
  3. 3.Visit on weekday mornings (Tuesday through Thursday around 9 or 10 AM) for the quietest experience with fewer crowds than afternoons.
  4. 4.The spray park is located within Cloverdale Athletic Park, so bring a picnic blanket and snacks to enjoy the playground and green spaces after water play.
  5. 5.Note the limited operating hours (8:30 AM to 4:30 PM weekdays only). It's closed on weekends, which is unusual for splash pads, so plan accordingly.

Seasonal Notes
