About the Venue

Leon Corlew Splash Pad is one of the strongest all-around family splash spots in the Metro East thanks to its accessible design and thoughtful park support features. The water play ranges from gentle bubblers to a large dumping bucket on a no-slip surface, making it workable for mixed ages and different comfort levels. Families also get shade shelters, restrooms with family rooms, a dry playground, pavilions, grills, concessions, and a fitness trail in the same complex. It is a particularly easy pick for caregivers who want a free outing that still feels well equipped.
