This 2,000 square foot splash pad is the perfect place for families looking to beat the North Carolina heat and enjoy some outdoor fun. 

The splash pad includes a giant water tower sprinkler, rings to run through, water shooters, and various sprayers to play with. It has something fun for anyone ages 1-13.

One of the awesome features of this splash pad is the fence that surrounds the entire splash pad area ensuring that children can play safely while parents and guardians relax.
