Splash pads are such a great way to cool off during the Summer. I love splash pads especially for the younger kids since you don't have to worry as much about drowning. Splash pads typically don't include any standing water, which makes them a safer alternative than a pool. It's similar to running through the sprinklers.
We have compiled a HUGE list of over 80 Splash Pads around Utah, and best of all, many are Free to the public. Hopefully you'll find this list handy not only for your local adventures but, when you're traveling as well.

July 7, 2015 at 12:42 pmCan you change “Ron Wood” park to the “Sierra Newbold” park. It is named and dedicated the the young girl who was abducted and killed in West Jordan and there is a huge plaque in honor of her and all other child victims. It is right by the Ron Wood baseball fields though so I can see the confusion. Thanks!

May 15, 2015 at 8:36 amThanks, Julie. I’ve changed the name on the Richfield splash pad. It’s the same one as the Central Valley. Also, the Monroe splash pad has not been built just yet. My understanding is they were waiting on fundraising efforts which have now been met and it is currently under design, but no completion date has been given.
