Awesome splash pad very clean. This park is well-maintained. Has restrooms and family restrooms. There's a little kids playground on a big kids playground. I found it pretty cool. They had speakers playing music at the splash pad. Great place to cool off and beat the Texas Heat. Plus it's FREE.

Loveeeed this splash pad for my girls! Not too far from our home and they had so much fun. Main downside is since it is free and open to the public, the place was PACKED! But well it is what it is. I like that you have the availability to rent an area in case you want to host a party such a great idea. I do recommend bringing your own roll of toilet paper roll, because obviously they run out since a lot of people go. There is also a playground next to the splash pad :) read more

The kids had fun with the playground and splash pad. The parking lot is very small, and the equipment does heat up quickly in the sun. There is a small, shaded area but this place got crowded quickly. The playground and splash pad are right next to each other and there is a paved pathway in between. Overall, it was great to try but wish it has more shaded areas. The parking lot could be larger considering the number of daily visitors. Warning the slide is very fast, some of the younger kids got hurt because they could not catch themselves and the way out. Even my kids fell over on their bottom but were able to shake it off. read more

This place was a blast for my kids and me! We enjoyed the shaded spots on artificial turf for picnicking, along with the clean restrooms and water fountains. There are two different playgrounds and a splash pad as well! Just a tip: bring a folding chair or blanket because seating is limited to the reserved pavilions. read more

Northview Park has playgrounds, restrooms, a splash pad, pavilions, a playing field, and walking trails. It's adjacent to the Universal City Library. This is a well equipped park on the northeast side of the San Antonio metro area. read more

This place is great for some free fun with the kids. The splash pad is as good as you would expect at an expensive amusement park. The playgrounds are great too. Perfect for a picnic and a great way to get the kids outside. read more

There's a small creek that runs along the dirt trail so we saw lots of people fishing. (The water is gross so it's not suitable for swimming.) Lots of parking and some historical buildings to see. Overall a great find--we'll be back.

On the day I visited it was 103 outside by mid day I couldn't take the heat anymore and came here to cool off and get my hair wet I must say it was a totally refreshing way to escape the heat of the day! They have a good number of waterslides here as well as having all of them be completely different from the next one definitely the highlight of the slides has to be Thunder Rapids Water Coaster as it's the first of its kind in North America and wow is it fun I've never ridden a slide like this before and I found it to be super fun as well as Wet and totally unique to anything I've ever experienced before as the technology that created this is totally rad and a great way to knock out those huge stair cases! The ground here can get super hot I mean super hot and that's coming from me someone who's always barefoot at waterparks so make sure you bring some sandals or something to keep your feet cool from the burning cement or just try to walk in the shade and water spots to keep them from burning! As anyone who visits waterparks will tell you coming to one can be a great workout as well as a rewarding time as your climbing lots of staircases and getting some swim action in if you choose to do that wile your inside their huge State Of Texas shaped wave pool. The waterpark opened a bit later than the park but it was all good as it was super hot by then and this was much needed the best part about this is that Gold Pass members can get into the Water Park 10 min early so that will definitely save you a bit of time and get you on a few more slides! Overall I really enjoyed my time here at the waterpark as all the slides were fun and I thought it was cool that their wave pool had its unique Texas shape to it as it made for some fun waves and splashes! Stay cool Wet and amazing good people of the Yelp Community in the Forever Summer sunshine!

People leave their stuff all over the tables and then disappear, so you can't sit down anywhere to eat. There is no shade anywhere over water, so you can't wade unless you are directly in the Texas Sun. If you want shade, you have to pay for it by buying lounge chairs or a cabana. The kids waited in line for about 25 minutes for the ride to breakdown; when this happens, they do not accommodate them by fast passing them later or anything like that, they are basically just told tough luck, try again later. A locker big enough to fit a backpack will run you $17.
