Editor's Take

More of a splash destination than a simple city pad, but the reservation system matters if you're trying to keep the outing easy.

About the Venue

Shelby Farms Park Water Play Sprayground is one of the more destination-style splash experiences in the Memphis area. The 4,000-square-foot play space includes a water tunnel, interactive spray jets, water pumps, and geyser boulders, giving it more variety than a basic municipal splash pad. Capacity is limited and reservations are recommended, though free one-hour Tuesday sessions are offered on a first-come basis. This is a strong choice for families who want a more feature-rich water-play outing inside a major regional park.
