About the Venue

Splash Pool at Lorraine Park is better than a basic splash pad if your family wants shallow water play without committing to a full deep-water pool. The city describes it as a family-friendly splash pad with spray features and shallow water play, and its pool page notes a large interactive play structure with zero-depth entry on two sides. This setup is especially helpful for toddlers, preschoolers, and younger elementary kids who want more than ground sprays but are not ready for a large traditional pool experience.
