Editor's Take

Best for a low-cost summer stop where the splash area is only part of the outing, not the whole destination.

About the Venue

City Lake Splash Park is Boonville’s longtime outdoor spray park inside City Lake Park. It is geared to children ages 10 and under with adult supervision and pairs well with the adjacent playgrounds, picnic shelters, lake loop walk, and open park space for a longer family outing. The city says the splash park is free, runs daily during the summer window, and the water can be started using blue activation poles on either side when the timer is on. This is a practical small-town option for families who want simple water play without committing to a full pool day.
