I love this splash park. The kids absolutely love coming here and so do I. The splash park is amazing it has waterfalls and some jets and it feels like playing in a stream when I was a child. There are restaurants and shops all around, so we usually eat lunch there after a few hours in the splash park. There are toilets but it's a 2 mins walk so you'd have to take all your belongings with you each time you had to use the loo.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with toddlers and young primary-age children on hot days. The water features β€” waterfalls, jets, and stream channels β€” are the main draw, and without them the site offers sparse playground equipment. Check before making a long journey, as water can be switched off without advance notice.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Call ahead or check social media to confirm the water is running before travelling
⏰Bring a change of clothes and a towel β€” children get soaked quickly
🎟️Water pauses for roughly five to ten minutes periodically as sand is cleaned
πŸš—Nearby restaurants and shops make it easy to extend the visit for lunch

β€œLove it here! It’s a great little park for families, and the kids love it too. There’s always security walking around, so it feels really safe. It’s also clean and spotless! The only feedback I would suggest is to post daily updates during summer about the water at the spring, especially when it’s turned off. I often see families traveling to the spring on days when the water isn’t running.”

β€œAmazing place. The splash pool is very entertaining - there is sand, hammock, showers and slides. My toddler loved it. It is free. There was security around. They sometimes stop the water flow for 5-10 minutes to clean the sand though. Many eating places around. There is small play area also adjacent to splash area. A really fun day. I didn’t expect it to be good.”
