There is nothing “cooler” to do on a hot day than visit a splash pad! This free splash pad located in St. Louis Park is fenced in– which works out wonderfully! Children easily know their boundaries and it feels like an open space, without overwhelming parents. There are ample trees for shade, a “clean” port-a-potty and playground with picnic benches. There are only three large umbrellas to sit in the share at the splash pad, so get there early or come after 1p.m. (when everyone clears out a bit and daycares round up their kids to go back to the site). Be sure to bring a bucket or two, but label it as they like to disappear in thin air! It your caffeine fix on your way at the Caribou right off Minnetonka Boulevard!
