Editor's Take

One of the better free municipal splash pads nearby if you want a true kid-centered water-play setup with age variety.

About the Venue

Bill and Lisa Peithmann Splash Pad is Mahomet's free seasonal splash pad and one of the strongest family picks in the region for age variety. The splash pad features three age-appropriate zones, including a water table and a giant dumping bucket, and sits beside other Barber Park amenities like playgrounds, fields, and restrooms. Public hours run daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day. This is a strong choice for families who want a true splash-pad outing without admission fees and appreciate a more feature-rich setup than a basic spray plaza.
