Water Parks and Splash Pads in Colorado Springs

Updated for 2022, be sure to check dates at each location for official opening days!

When my two were younger, splash pads were a mainstay of Texas summers.  They were a great way to refresh in the  heat and a little easier to deal with than swimming pools.

Colorado Springs has several great splash pads for young children, and their grown ups, to enjoy.  Pack a picnic lunch, some towels, and try one of these to beat the heat!
