Pricing Snapshot
Earl Jackson Pool and Splash Pad is a community water-play spot in Wilmington's Northside neighborhood, operated by NSEA Swim in partnership with the City of Wilmington. Families get both a splash pad and a public pool at the same address, making it a flexible choice for siblings with different comfort levels around water. The splash pad runs daily with longer hours than the pool, and admission is especially budget-friendly. This is one of the clearest low-cost summer options in central Wilmington for quick cooling-off visits or a longer stay.
