Summer is just around the corner and one of our very favorite ways to cool off and beat the heat is to hit up a local splash pad. Lucky for us these amenities are becoming super popular at parks and more and more of them are popping up all over the place. Most of them open up the end of this month during Memorial Day weekend, so only a few weeks away!
Here is our list of all the F-R-E-E Utah Splash Pads!

Centennial Park/ Chloe’s Sunshine Playground- 1800 South 2000 West, Syracuse.
Chloe’s Sunshine Playground is named after Chloe Bennet, a Syracuse City child. Chloe has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and West Syndrome which limit her ability to speak, walk, and to play on traditional playground equipment with other kids. This separation inspired Chloe’s mother to gather support to create a place where Chloe and other children can play together. The playground will bridge this gap making Chloe’s dream a reality.
The fully accessible playground features ramps, swings, slides, a music garden, shade structures, a water splash pad, and restrooms. It is located at Centennial Park.
