About the Venue

Bisti Bay at Brookside Park is Farmington's more destination-style outdoor water-play option, combining spray features with a broader aquatic complex that includes a lazy river, in-pool playground, aquatic sports areas, and two large slides. Public swim generally runs Tuesday through Sunday earlier in the season, then weekends only from August through Labor Day, with admission priced at $6 and free entry for ages 2 and under. It works well for families who want more than a basic splash pad and are comfortable with a busier, fee-based summer outing.
