Brainerd City Splash Pad

On a hot July day in Brainerd, this splash pad on Mill Ave is exactly where you want to be. The water features keep kids busy for way longer than you’d expect, and since it’s open to all ages, even the little ones can join in without any issues. It’s free, it’s accessible, and honestly it’s one of the better ways to kill an afternoon when the Minnesota summer heat actually shows up.
