Splash Pads Have Become a Summer Essential for Families

Between rising entertainment costs and summer temperatures that somehow feel hotter every year, splash pads have become one of those simple family outings that parents and kids appreciate.

Kids can burn energy. Parents get a relatively affordable activity. Everybody cools off for a little while.

That's a win all the way around, and with Memorial Day weekend kicking off the unofficial start of summer, the timing for the reopening couldn't be better.
