Plan the perfect stress-free, budget-friendly family outing just in time for summer
There’s nothing like summer in Indiana. If you’re looking for a way to beat the heat (and keep your kiddos entertained!), visit one of our free splash pads!
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the parks, our splash pads encourage outdoor play and exploration along with the regular splashtastic fun. Plus, each splash pad has a unique design, so you get a new experience at every park you visit. All our splash pads are open seasonally Memorial Day through September 30 from 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Ready to get to splashin’? Let’s go over all the splash pads at Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation.
Westermier Commons (in Central Park)
920 Central Park Drive West
With giant flowers, leaves, and reeds, kids will feel like they’re exploring a giant garden at this splash pad. There are also a variety of water features to choose from, so whether your kiddo enjoys getting splashed, sprayed, or showered, they’re guaranteed to get wet! But don’t worry, kiddos can dry off at the Westermeier Commons playground – located right next door –before the drive home.
Inlow Park
6310 E. Main Street
Perfect for kids of all ages, Inlow Park has everything you need for a day of aquatic fun, including something you don’t often see at a splash pad – a water slide!
West Park
2700 W. 116th Street
West Park is one of the largest parks in Carmel, with an equally expansive splash pad. This splash pad is inspired by nature, featuring a stream and water that cascades down the sides of a “canyon.” Kids can run through the stream or crank a wheel that sends water splashing down on their friends. With other features like paved hiking trails, fishing, and grills, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
Midtown Plaza
365 Monon Blvd
This splash pad may be small, but it’s tons of fun! Kiddos will have a blast as they jump through interval sprays of water that shoot up from the ground, climb on the boulders, and admire the light show when the sun goes down. It’s impossible to be bored in Midtown Plaza, with other free amenities like ping pong tables, public art, and big screen entertainment.
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit one of our splashtastic splash pads this summer! Looking for even more ways to beat the heat? Plan a visit to The Waterpark by checking out our “Know Before You Go: 7 Tips for Visiting The Waterpark” blog.
