Not sure why we hadn't tried this place out sooner, other than the fact that the past few summers…read morehave had TERRIBLE weekend weather, and this place (along with other similar venues) has truly suffered. It was so nice this weekend, and we live soooooooo close, that the 'Gods of Chlorine' finally lured us over there, and we were not disappointed (except when the crowds finally thinned, but it was "everyone out of the pool" @ 6:45 for a 7pm closing...)!!! Not half bad, when your only "complaint" is you wish they could stay open later...!! There's something for everyone here, from "diaper dippers" upward to Seniors (I think there's a pretty good "aqua fitness" class offering mornings; check their website: http://ntprdsplashzone.phantomgolf.com/. I wish they had more evening hours, and stayed open past mid-late August (unbelievable that most pools close here in Ohioooooo WELL before Labor Day, aka The HOTTEST PART OF THE SUMMER...!!) but I guess there's a lifeguard shortage once kids go back to school. This is a well run, well maintained gem in Springfield's dented/tarnished crown. Get there while it's HOT!!!

I'm surprised Splash Zone hasn't been reviewed yet. This is a nice, small waterpark that is part of…read morethe public park system. There are three slides, a short lazy river, kids play area, diving board and a lap pool. Something for everybody. There's plenty of space to spread out a blanket. Many lounge chairs are provided but it can be hard to get one if it's busy. Visitors may also bring their own chairs. Admission for adults is seven dollars. This place has a lot of rules and it was confusing as a first time visitor. Listen carefully to the announcements. I wish the regular pool area was larger, there's not a ton of room to move around. It would be nice if there was more landscaping too. The grass is beautiful, but more trees and plants would be great. I added a star because of the '80s music they were playing. No other form of music is more appropriate for summertime pool activities. Lots of fun.

Very nice little water park! There are some nice amenities available, including two large slides, a…read moresmall kids area with two smaller slides and a spray and play section, a little lazy river with whirlpool, and an infant pool. A snack bar is available, as well. This is part of the Upper Arlington system and they offer a discounted price for residents. Both resident and nonresident prices are also discounted after 7 pm. Parking is available in the lot. Staff was friendly and did a good job handling pool cleaning and water monitoring.

He had headphones in the whole time and was on his phone every time I saw him. I want my $60 back. When I go to a pool I expect attentive guards that at least LOOK like they know what to do. If you have young kids DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I highly recommend you spend your money and time at another pool like Pickerington or Canal where they will actually do their jobs.

Visiting from New Hampshire Will recommend…read more Would return I actually wasn't quite sure how I was going to feel about this park after reading all of the reviews I kind of felt like I didn't wanna go, but let me just reassure you please make that decision based upon your own experience because mine was very different than what the reviews I was reading about There is plenty of parking you do not have to print your tickets The big issue they're making about coolers is really not that big of an issue. You just have to leave your cooler outside of where the water area is. There's a big covered area where the coolers go, and there was more than a dozen to two dozen coolers left in there and people would just come out of the water area and get their coolers, which was no more than a five minute walk less than Also, there was some complaints about not being able to bring food in there with you again the food you cannot bring into the water area, but you can bring anything you want in the cooler area and honestly, can you only imagine what the water would look like if you allowed all of these people bringing in all this food I was able to rent a locker to fit a beach bag with two towels, two pairs of shoes and a water bottle for $12 all day There was plenty of open chairs to sit on even if you wanted to leave your towels on the chairs nobody was going to be taking your towels I even seen wallets and phones As for the food, sure if you wanna eat before then that would be a great idea. My husband and I each had a chicken finger sandwich that had three large pieces of chicken tender on it and they were hand battered chicken tenders and they were $16 apiece with a bag of chips whatever we were hungry we ate it. It wasn't totally disgusting. We had no lines no waiting for the slides. There are large amount of stairs to the slides, which is why we ended up needing some food during our time here. I also want to point out that all of these waterslides are for multiple riders meaning 2 to 4 there is two slides in the whole park that are single rider slides The park was clean. I went to water parks before it just looks like a waterpark. There wasn't an overabundance of trash, floating in the water like it says there wasn't piles of shit like it says. As for the lifeguards, I also read that they are not very friendly. I find that to be faults. They are all doing their job there so they're not going to go out of their way to interact with you. If you speak to them, you will get spoken back to you, but as you will watch and see them, they are very aggressively doing their jobs So please again make your own review. Don't just not go because of what you're reading and I hope that my review will help you to get there to decide.

It is now cleaner, safer, and more fun. There are three swimming pools (one with kid structure, slides, etc.; one with diving boards/water basketball; one for infants/toddlers) two water slides, locker rooms, concession stands, & green/umbrella space. The prices are reasonable, location is not bad, and it's great for families. There are pros and cons one has to consider, though. Pros: Reasonable prices Concessions Water slides Location Parking available Next to big park Recently remodeled Family-friendly Certified lifeguards Swim lessons offered Cons: Lines can be annoying Not much for older teens/young adults Space fills up quick in shade Few/no double tubes for tube slide Can't have some play equipment Showers in locker rooms spray badly (may get on dry clothes) No alcohol allowed (some adults may be unhappy)

The other slide is a body slide and my kids said it was rough on their backs. The little kids area is fun and has a good amount of water things to do. Parking is easy and there is an overflow area.

Large floatable obstacle courses in the manmade lake that they have in the back...EVERYONE HAS to wear a lifejacket (good luck trying to find the right size)...and the lifeguards WILL yell at you even if you BARELY have your feet in the water!
