It may be the season for 100-degree temperatures, but that doesn’t mean all the fun is indoors around here. Water play is officially open in Surprise as our splash pads and pools host summer long fun.

Spray rings, water cannons, and interactive water pads that spray higher the more you jump – there is endless fun to be had at our splash pads this summer. Plus, with all three splash pad parks just a short drive from each other, you can make a day of park hopping!

Marley Park’s Heritage Park, is located at 1573 W. Sweetwater Ave. This splash pad is covered, which is perfect for the hottest times of the day. The splash pad area includes a ring spray feature, as well as two moveable sprayers for some kid-friendly water fights. For the littles, there are smaller water fountains that will keep them entertained. Plus, the park’s playground area is nearby for those needing a little more adventure. Daily Hours: 6 a.m. – 10 p.m. Entry is FREE.

Veramonte Park, is located at 12741 N. 140th Ave. This park offers the best of both worlds with a splash pad plus a large covered playground just a few steps away. Here you can enjoy the fun of a half ring spray, water sprayers kids can aim, and smaller fountains for younger kids. Plus, there are circles on the ground that shoot out water on their own, but go even higher when you jump on them! If you’re looking for a little fun while drying off, the playground has a climbing structure, slides and a teeter-totter. Daily Hours: 6 a.m. – Dusk. Entry is FREE.
