    Splash pad on a hot day =
    Gina J.

    This was a treat for my kids on a hot, hot day. They really enjoyed all the water features that were offered (water shooters, jets popping from the ground, , the grassy hill nearby to roll down, and the play structure. There was another play structure just a short walk away from the main area, but that seemed to be much more dated and not kept up. The older structure has a lot more metal components, so definitely be careful with your little ones on those atrociously hot days. I appreciated the amount of park benches and tables available and also the decent amount of shaded areas.

    These men should not have been there, at som point they were picking up and touching other people's children.

    This is such a cute park, I would love to bring my daughter again to when it's not so crowded. But it's so much land where you can just relax to yourself. The only reason I am giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is for the experience today and that was the amount of full grown men in the splash pad.

    Off season at the splash pad.   Time for playing elsewhere in this huge park.

    For years and years, I wouldn't leave a review of this splash pad as I wanted to keep this little gem a well-guarded secret. It was busy enough when we visited during all those summers and in summer it is a fun place to go for free. Worth an extended drive if you don't live in the area, plan on going early on a hot summer day or you will have trouble finding a close parking spot. The water is on timers and only will turn on after the appropriate time when the splash pad opens so I would time my arrival within 30 minutes before the water turned on for a parking spot and to get a seat on a shady bench. I'd allow a few hours for a visit and would bring food since the food options in the immediate area are few and far between. Things to love: Lots of green grass. A large smooth concrete surface with a bunch of pipes spraying, shooting, and pouring water. Picnic pavilion available to rent for parties. Benches scattered around to sit on to watch the kiddos. Parking lot is close by. Free!!!! Things to dislike: The metal playground equipment on wood chips next to water play area. Water, wood chips, hot sun on metal, and children don't mix well. There is a second play area with outdated, metal play equipment down a staircase a few more steps away from the splash pad. It is not visible from the main area and a pain to have kids want to be down there. Also, the benches around the splash area fill up fast on busy days. Bring your own chairs or a picnic blanket to ensure a seat. Parking gets packed by 10:30am in hot summer days. Overall this place is great for young children. But by the time a kid is past kindergarten, I feel like the splash pad loses it's appeal to them. The park it is located in though is huge and has so much nature to enjoy for any age. The dog park, rolling grassy lawns, duck pond, and hiking trails are so spread out, it offers an adventure beyond the water feature for toddlers.

    Cool park! Loved the splash pad and covered picnic areas. Just watch out for rattle snakes! The bathrooms were pretty clean. I loved how there is a walkway so I could exercise while the children played in the water. The grass felt so wonder to sit on and relax. I wished I had brought my bathing suit too! It was so hot that day that I wanted to get in the water with them!

    Summer fun!

    I brought my six year old niece here on Friday. The small water park is located inside the Oak Park Community Center. It is such a cool asset to the park and it is so much fun and safe for all kids. If you have small children I highly recommend this awesome park.

    Imagine going to splash pad on labor day weekend. Birthday parties everywhere. Bees everywhere. And male and female restrooms locked.

    A great place for the kidos on a hot day to cool off. Nice grass area for sitting but not much shade, bring shade and towels.

    We recently rented Pavilion A at Oak Canyon Community Park for our daughter's 4th birthday splash…read moreparty, specifically because of its proximity to the splash pad. The park itself is beautiful and clean, which is why we felt confident booking it for such an important celebration. Unfortunately, shortly after our event began, the splash pad stopped working and remained off for the duration of our rental. This was the main activity for approximately 20 children in attendance. While a park ranger attempted to assist, there was ultimately no resolution. What was especially disappointing was the lack of urgency and care from park staff. There was no real apology or effort to make the situation right. We had to go through hoops just to get someone on the phone, which was frustrating in the middle of hosting a children's party. If pavilions are being rented out for private events, you would expect someone to be readily available to assist renters when issues arise. Additionally, we were told at booking that Pavilion B was already reserved and that inflatables were only permitted in that space. However, Pavilion B remained empty the entire time. Had we known, we would have booked that pavilion or adjusted our plans to include a bounce house to make up for the loss of the splash pad. While the park grounds are well maintained, the lack of communication, unavailable amenity, and absence of real-time support made what should have been a joyful day unnecessarily stressful. I hope improvements are made so other families do not have a similar experience.
