About the Venue

Harrison Taylor Splash Pad is PARA's dedicated splash pad at Palmore Park in Tuscaloosa. It operates on a defined summer schedule and adds family-friendly basics like nearby restrooms, a rentable shelter, and park context that makes it easy to build a longer outing. This is a better fit for families who want an organized municipal splash spot with posted rules and optional private rentals than for those looking for a totally free drop-in stop.
