Splash Pads in the Southwest Suburbs

TOPICS:

Posted By: Claudia Coyne May 15, 2018

Move over backyard water table and sprinkler: splash pads are the perfect way to run off some energy while staying cool this summer. They’re a great way to cool down our kids without a trip to the neighborhood pool. We usually pack a picnic and some outdoor toys and make a whole day of it. Water shoes are always top on our packing list for the little ones, because some of the surfaces are a bit slippery. And we always have a robe or cover up-for our down time to avoid a chill.

On average, the splash pads range from free to $5 depending on residency. Some do have breaks in the hours for cleaning or water conservation, so make sure you check the individual sites for information. Pack a lunch and check out some of the splash pads in the southwest suburbs!

About the Author

Claudia Coyne
Having grown up in Palos Park, Claudia has a great love for the southwest suburbs and the hidden gems of the area. Claudia currently lives in Tinley Park with her husband and four children (two girls, ages 6 and 4 and two boys, ages 3 and 1). Cabin fever with four children can get rough, so they’re always looking for new and exciting adventures outside of the house! During the warmer months, you’ll find her and the family at the pool, out on nature walks, grilling in the yard, or at the zoo. And pick a park, any park… Claudia’s kids possess a magical super power of being able to detect the nearest park within a 5 mile radius, so there’s always a stop off on the way home to discover new playgrounds! When the cold comes, they like to craft, hibernate at the library or indoor play places, and play in the snow. In her tiny sliver of free time, Claudia enjoys sewing, photography, and baking.

      It’s Ty Warner Park in Westmont. We wanted to publish the article before the splash pads opened this year, but plan to add photos of southwest locations soon!
