Well-kept and fun splash pad and park! The fixtures are so fun for the kids to play on and there are lots of benches around the inside perimeter of the gated splash pad. Not tons of shade so bring a hat or umbrella and sunscreen. There is a playground right next to it that is mostly for bigger kids because its primarily climbing activities. The sign suggests ages 5-12 which seems about right. Fun to play in the splash pad and then head to the playground! Theres also a canoe and kayak launch next to the playground thats nice to walk down and see the mangroves and water birds. Great park.

Fabulous park, well kept, fun for little kids, well organized, plenty of seats in the shade for parents. You may have to wait a bit due to covid and restricted amount of people at a time inside the splash pad, which is absolutely reasonable.

Great splash pad! My 3 year old loved it. I liked that its fenced, so kids cant wander out. Well maintained and nice dry playground as well.

Need to update hours on website. The nearby cities with spray parks still have regular hours. I dont know why Tarpon limits theirs so much. If its due to covid, just down the street at the sponge docks is packed.........

This was a great little spot to bring the children. We didn’t want to go to the beach in the full sun so we brought them here to kill some time until evening. They had a lot of fun but the only downside was it was still very sunny! Don’t forget sunglasses because the sun reflecting off of the splash pad area is blinding. The kids are under full sun so bring sunscreen and hats! There are some shady benches you can sit on (Hopefully you luck out and they’re not all taken) and watch the children have a ball! Love that it’s free (:

Beautiful park, shaded parking with access to the splash park, the river and the Pinellas bike path.

A nice park if you happen to have kids or dogs. It’s a combination of small splash park, a dog park and a playground. It’s an admission free park. The splash park has few water fountains and a slide. Just enough to get the kids wet on a hot day. The dog park is fenced and it looks like it had some nice objects for the dogs to play around. The playground is small and it looks like it’s for older kids, not suitable for toddlers.

Would be Nice if everyone would be able to make reservations set with Time Limit so All Children would have a chance to enjoy! Would not suggest you come here with your child or Children because you cant get in and your children will be Extremely Disappointed not being able to go in while seeing other children playing and having FuN While parents not limiting their time in so that Others may Enjoy!! Waited over and hour unfortunately We Left very Sad and disappointed as did many others️️️

With covid, get there by 10am-10:30, otherwise you’ll be waiting. 10-1pm and another at 2pm. Its one of the better “free splash pads around”.

Review №14

Currently due to COVID this is a terrible place to bring your child or children. Only 25 people are allowed in at a time. There is NO TIME LIMIT ONCE INSIDE. We spent an hour waiting in hopes of getting in and it didnt happen. They need to set up a reservation system so everyone is able to enjoy.

Its a great little place to cool off with an awesome dog park, would recommend splash pad for kids under 10yrs old or so but still fun! Clean and well kept. Bbq grill and table/chairs under cover from sun, excellent place for those sunny spring/summer days since its usually not too crowded.

Drove 4 kids to this place just to find out due to COVID you have to wait hours to get in and get on a list for a free splash park.It’s hot and this is annoying. Try telling a three year old they can’t go inside!

We took our daughter as a treat for her second birthday. She and her 3 year old brother had a blast! We have never been to a splash park before. We went on a Thursday morning. It wasnt packed but it was busy. There are ten benches within the gated splash pad. We were lucky one opened up just as we got there. Only 4 of the benches are under their own canopy though. We waited about 45 minutes for a shaded one to open up. If you plan on going on a weekend I would recommend bringing your own chairs and umbrella. Overall it was very clean, there was so much for the kids to do, people were friendly, and kids had plenty of room to run around without getting run-over by other kids. We were impressed. Thank you Tarpon Springs for making a great place for the kids to have fun thats completely free!

If you have kids under 6, this is a great place to cool off. The kids were all little, so there was not much running around, it was quite clean and the water toys keep interest with the bright colors and functionality. The best part, its FREE!I will be going back again if we are in the area.

Really nice! Brought my 5yr old God-son to celebrate going Back To School GREAT SPLASH PARK!!! We spent about an hour but wouldve stayed longer if possible ... the park automatically shuts down as a safety precaution in the event of a lightening threat (AWESOME FEATURE / SAFETY FIRST) but well definitely be back!Great attractions via water spouts, water buckets, an interactive water dam, small water slide, etc. Great for Family Fun for little ones.*Free admission*Accomodates up to age 12 with adult supervision (opinion best suited for little kids)*Built in lightening warning system*Decent bathroom facilities*Open air outdoor shower*Separately fenced dog park on same property*Separate playground with covered patio & picnic tablesThe only negative which can be dealt with easily is the parking lot ... its dirt/gravel with several pot-holes near the entrance, just use caution & have a great day with loved ones. God bless!

Kids had a GREAT time. Only downfall, not very much shaded seating for the adults. I like the fact that there are only 2 ways in & 2 ways out & the gates are loud enough for the adults to hear them open & close.

Review №46

It is so cute! My kids love to visit here. They are right next a dog park so if you have a dog too you can have the best of both worlds. There is also a little field and park to play on if you dont want to get wet.

Review №49

Great park. But unfortunately with free things people dont really watch what theyre kids are doing. Older kids without parents do not need to be there intimidating the little kids the park is made for. BTW, the no climbing signs are there for a reason. But without parental supervision, who cares, right?

Love coming here during the summer! Its gated in so Im comfortable with my small kids knowing they cant leave on their own. The benches around it get full quick. Theres some shade over them depending on the time of day. Bring some buckets for water play and expect to share with the other kids who will definitely want to borrow them too

Awesome place provided for kids and dogs. I usually park here while my kids visit with their mother. My daughter is afraid of her mothers husband. She likes to know Dad is that close, she loves her mother but knows that she (mom) cant or wont protect her from the child molester she (mom) married.My point is I can sit here and have some form of Tranquility. I love that the city of Tarpon Springs does this for everyone.

It was great but set up kind of strange. There doesnt seem to be someone working there so it was pretty overcrowded. The bigger kids are bullies and parents dont supervise.

Its Free and very well kept. The splash park can fit alot of a kids at once and has a good variety of fun water equipment. There is limited covered seating for parents so arrive early. Playground and dog park on site too. We usually arrive right when it opens at 10am and stay for about an hour. The kids love coming here.

Fun for little kids. Quite busy on weekends but during the week is manageable. Clean and newer play area. Minus 1 star for gravel parking lot. Unless you can get your kids completely dry and then not step in any water (impossible), youll have mud in your car.

Its a very safe and protected park. Its smaller so you can see everything and everybody there with you. It has a secure fence around the whole water park. It is a very cute and fun place for kids to play. The water turns off automatically if theres a storm close which is a nice safety feature.
