About the Venue

Salinas Park Splash Pad is a free public splash pad at Manuel Q. Salinas Park on Corpus Christi's west side. Its biggest advantage is the larger park context: families can combine the splash pad with the city's Play-For-All Playground, Miracle League Field, sports areas, pavilion, restrooms, shade structures, picnic tables, and walking trail. That makes it one of the more versatile public options in the region for siblings, group meetups, and longer park days.
