About the Venue

Sims Park Splash Pad is part of New Port Richey's signature downtown park along the Cotee River. Families can pair splash time with the playground, paved walking paths, picnic tables, and event-friendly pavilions in one stop. This is a strong mixed-age option for casual drop-ins, especially if you want a larger park setting around the water play.
