When I was a young mother I used to love to get the kids out of the house on a nice Summer Day and head out to the local park. When it got too hot though, the kids would get cranky, I would get sweaty (glistening sound better). Driving by one of the parks that we used to visit back in those days I noticed a fun new improvement. They have added a Splash Pad. It's a wonderful, colorful assortment of waterfun for the kids to run through, play on and most of all cool down in. I had to pull over and take a picture to share with all you parents who may be looking to beat the heat and have some fun with the kids.
Located on the corner of Raisin and Russell the Splash Pad is in operation from noon to 8:00pm during the warm months. Along with the Splash Pad is the original park area my kids used to play on, swings, bouncy animals etc., plus there is a nice covered picnic area and a huge field if the kids want to run around or throw a ball. So, pack up some juice boxes and snacks and on the next hot day when you are wondering what to do, head out to get wet and cool down and you won't have to use a lot of gas to get there. And I almost forgot to mention, the fun is FREE! For more information on the area, visit my website TecumsehProperites.com
Hi Beth, One of the new Gulf front condos put a larger version of this in as an attraction to young families. Kids really do love it !
Adorable - I think we all can figure out to improvise such a gadget for own yards - It's important to keep the young-uns busy so everyone stays happy!

Hey, Beth. I think that a splash pad is a great idea. I would like to see that catch on here, after all it is 97 on the shade. Thanks, Jim
Bill~ It is a fun idea, I sat for awhile and watched the kids, they just loved getting wet. I was tempted to take a leap in myself.
Joan~ When I was little we used to take the garden sprinkler and run through. We also had a slip and slide, fun until you land hard :(
Jim~ You need a splash mountain in that heat. I was impressed to see our little town put together such a nice thing for the kids and the best part is that it is free which makes it great for the parents on a budget.
