Wakarusa Splash Pad 3

A brand new splash pad has been completed in Wakarusa just in time for the hottest weather!

In addition to the typical big bucket that fills with water,  there are water wheels and others options for experiencing how water flows, and how to change it!

The park also offers a walking trail and disc golf course for those that prefer staying dry.
