Pro Tips
- 1.Arrive early morning (8-10 AM) to snag a shaded picnic table near the splash pad before it gets crowded, especially on weekends
- 2.Pack water shoes or sandals with good grip as the splash pad surface can get slippery when wet
- 3.Bring a large beach towel or blanket to claim a spot under the shade structures during peak hours
- 4.Apply sunscreen before arriving since there's limited coverage over the actual splash pad area
- 5.Pack snacks and a cooler since there are no food vendors on-site, but plenty of picnic tables available
