About the Venue

Captain Leonard Destin Park combines a splash pad with one of the region's strongest all-in-one outdoor settings. Families get bathrooms, playground time, pavilions, an accessible beach area, boardwalk access, and a paddle board or kayak launch in the same park, making this a good choice if you want more than a short spray stop. The splash pad itself is free to use, while pavilions can be reserved separately through the city.
