Editor's Take

About the Venue

Naida Jane Baker Splash Pad is a free City of Tucson splash pad located in Balboa Heights Park. Unlike most of the city's other splash pads, the official page notes that this one is only open on Saturdays and Sundays during the season. That makes it useful for weekend neighborhood play but less reliable for weekday drop-ins. It is a meaningful community-focused splash spot named for a longtime local advocate for children and families.
