About the Venue

The Splash Pad at Town Square is a compact downtown water-play stop in the heart of Crystal River. Families get an easy drop-in option with adjacent restrooms, covered picnic tables, nearby seating, and a location right by Citrus Avenue shops and restaurants. It is best for younger kids and mixed-age sibling stops when you want a short cool-down rather than a full waterpark-style outing.
