Splash Pad

When it’s 110 degrees in July and you need somewhere the kids can actually cool down, this splash pad earns its place on the shortlist. The water features do exactly what you need them to — keep little ones soaked and happy while you breathe for a minute. Paved paths make it easy to navigate whether you’re pushing a stroller or a wheelchair, which honestly isn’t a given at a lot of these spots. Grab food nearby after and you’ve got yourself a solid afternoon without melting.
