Super cute park! Great for hot days with the splash pad. Kiddos loved it! Would recommend.

PSA to fellow parents with bored kids in this heatwave: This splash pad only operates from Memorial Day to Labor Day but when it works it's a godsend. Free waterpark. The park itself is massive with hiking trails and 2 playgrounds (they're whatever) and there's a pond with a waterfall at the entrance which is pretty zen and fun for the kids read more

So disappointing. It was such a hot day, so we came here since it said it was open until 7 but the water isn't even working. They should really update the hours instead. read more

Oak Park Splash Pad - So disappointing - Parks Near Me - Oak Park, California

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. read more

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

Yes! Finally a splash pad that's working! Sure we had to drive out of the valley to enjoy recycled water but it's well worth it. I was a bit confused as to where the splash pad was but I followed the road a bit even after siri said we arrived and saw it. The kids loved running around through the water. And every water fixture was working. The regular playground is adjacent and not in sand so the little ones can run from on to the other. Or there's a hill side and the can roll down. It was a nice park to visit. I wish mason and panorama got their systems fixed. I read one of the reviews saying that we are in Southern Cali... why isn't there more water parks/splash pads? read more

This is a fun spot to take kids on hot days. (Which in the valley, is almost every weekend in August and September). There are water cannons that kids can point at each other, sprinklers that shoot water up from the ground, and several tall buckets that drop water down. There is also an adjacent playground and a picnic area that's used a lot for birthday parties. Take note: The city uses recycled water to power the splash pad, so I wouldn't take kids here that are so little that they might drink the water. Also, beware of the bees that always seem to be hovering around the area. read more

I absolutely love this park! It's great for little ones. It's well maintained and the area is beautiful read more

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. read more

Oak Park Splash Pad - These men should not have been there, at som point they were picking up and touching other people's children. - Parks Near Me - Oak Park, California

Great park for the kiddos of any age. Splash pad is good size & water amount is perfect for even little ones. There is also a large playground & swings right next to the pad which makes supervision for multiple kids much better. read more

Best local gem, get there early the seating is limited, but you could bring a blanket and sit on the grass. This is a great way to cool off each summer, it opens Memorial weekend and is open till mid September. It's next to the tot playground and not too far from the big kid playground and picnic pavilion. Bring your kids they will have a blast, fair warning - they might not want to leave. read more

My daughter loves it here! Super fun, can get crowded especially on weekends during the summer! But overall it's a fun place to go and enjoy the splash pad, park, and have a picnic! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Amazing splash pad - one that the whole family can enjoy! It's super clean and shaded. Lots of sitting area for parents with a playground adjacent to the splash pad. Our boys had a blast! read more

It is good and so fast we always come here and they are working very well and it is the best food

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. read more

Oak Park Splash Pad - Summer fun! - Parks Near Me - Oak Park, California

0 stars! When I was little, I was brought to this park as a one year old and there was a metal slide in the hot sun. I was 1 and didn't know what to do so I stepped on the slide, didn't move, and screamed! I had to go to the hospital with a second degree burn because of this. We sent a letter to the City of Oak Park about what happens and guess what they did, NOTHING! Don't trust this playground and water park. read more

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.

So cute! Free little splash pad, perfect for my 19 mo and big kids. Some good shade. A great little playground right next to it. We spotted some bunnies further into the wooded area by the grass. Just a sweet little park, great for this heat! read more

Free water park? Sort of. It's perfect for little kids, no slides or pools for big kids... but it is a free, public park! Bring your swim suit, even if you're not planning to play on the splash pad... you may still get soaked somehow by crazy kids haha It'll be sad to see this go IF it gets shut down because of the CA drought. Luckily there has been some much welcome rain recently (in July?!??). I just wish this place was closer to me but it was worth the drive to check it out. Fun how the whole splashpad was on. It seems to rotate in a cycle of which particular faucets and fountains were active. Lots of grassy hills, trails, and a large shaded picnic table area which supposedly can be reserved. read more

I love this place- best park in the entire area too. The kids love it and it is FREE . I would love to run through this thing and play as well but it's surrounded by toddlers and little ones. It's clean but recycled water and I always have a gagging reflex when I see someones kid drinking that water pouring out and signs are posted everywhere too that's it's recycled. Blah...kids with diapers are in there...don't let your kid drink that water...ugh. Adjacent to this is a park/play area so when they are cold or tired of the water they can go back and forth from play area to the water area. Great place to host a birthday party with the only exception that it probably gets crowded on the weekends. I love that you can take a little hike in the back of this thing and get to the Duck Pond too. I think the teenagers would enjoy it too I"m not sure how late they keep this open but the late hours would be the only benefit for the older kids as the little kids take over during the day. read more

This place is awesome!!! If you're looking for a fun and FREE day to cool down your kid(s), this is absolutely the place to go! Take a picnic basket/blanket, maybe some toys, and bring a swimsuit for your little one(s). I wear shorts and a tank because it's really the kids that get wet. It's a bunch of fountains (recycled water) that the kids get to run through...make sure to check out their website. It is SO worth the drive to Oak Park. YOU WON'T REGRET IT! read more

Oak Park Splash Pad - Parks Near Me - Oak Park, California

I think this is the best park around for miles and is totally under appreciated! It's so serene, away from the main road so you feel safe and private. There are two awesome sets of playground equipment for different kids age ranges. One of them is an older, classic style that's big enough for adults to actually have real fun on. It's nestled in an authentic oak creek with gorgeous trees nooks and trails. There's a great gated dog park up the hill from the lot. Pro tip: bring flat cardboard for the kids to surf or sled down the steep little hill between the lot and the newer playground. The gentle sloped paved trails are perfect for skateboarding scooters and bikes. Lastly of course the splash pad itsef - which is still closed during covid - but when we used to go in the summer we had a ball. read more

Fantastic park for a hot day--there's the splash pad, which seems to be universally loved by kids, plus two regular playgrounds (a smaller one with wood chips and bigger/taller one with sand), plus down below there's a duck pond. My toddler could pretty much spend the whole day here. Plenty of parking. Best part is it's free! Open til 7:00 pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day. read more

I love this little community splash pad! Super fun activities for the kids, and convenient benches for placing stuff down or taking a break! The picnic area is huge and the park is fun as well! There were a few bees, but that didn't ruin our fun! Definitely coming back on the hot days! read more

I 100% love this splash pad! Every time I've been there I am so handful that we live close enough to enjoy it frequently. The splash pad is pretty large in comparison to other pads and it has so many different areas with various sprayers and sprinklers. It's a great splash pad. I recommend water shoes with it's really hot out because the cement gets hot, and also because there tends to be a lot of bees at the edge of the splash pad. If you go early enough you can get seating in the shade, or I recommend and Eazy-Up in the deep summer months. Pack a lunch and enjoy a few hours of play that will EXHAUST your kids. Thumbs up! Beware of the park next to it though. There is bark that stick to your wet kids and there are old school metal slides that BURN!!! read more

We love this park for all year long ! For walking hiking taking a bike ride playing on both play grounds and most definitely using the splash pad during summer! We come here often and I enjoy a lil time to myself when the kids play because we literally stay here for hours at. Time read more

This place is great on hot summer days! Bring a lunch bag and hang out for hours. We plan on coming here many times this summer. My only complaint is that I wish it was open a little longer during the year. It's only open Memorial Day to Labor Day. I would love to have a bday party for one of my kids here (they do have a great covered picnic area) but my daughters bday is just before Memorial Day and my sons bday is just after Labor Day. We might just have to work around their schedule one year. read more

Super fun! Great for hot summer days. Nice park for smaller kids right next to the splash pad.

Great place for kids! The splash pad is great and kids and adults can enjoy it. There is also a play structure nearby which kids love. I can't believe I just found this place! read more

My kids love this place. Plenty of parking, water splash pad for kids, BBQ space and picnic area. Also, I've learned that we can reserve one of the pavilions for outside birthday parties. You can use online calendar or call Rancho Simi Recreation and Parks. read more

I am constantly looking for ways to entertain my kids. And what kid doesn't enjoy getting wet? This is a must if you are looking for quick fun and want to keep your little ones busy and cool. You'll manage to get their energy out and you won't even spend a dime! The entire park is very nice and clean. The splash pad in particular gets pretty busy during summer even on weekdays and it's mainly kids between 1-7 years old. The water is recycled, so I would highly recommend bringing toddlers in swim diapers and whatever you do, don't let your toddler drink the water! Grassy area all around. Would be great for a picnic, changing diapers, or even having the kids run around before or after getting wet. The playground is just OK ... not too big of a fan. It has a metal slide. Really? Metal slide baking in the summer? Would definitely recommend making a trip to Oak Park for this cute splash pad (and not the playground). A must during summer! read more

We absolutely loved taking the kids to this fun local water area. It's best to get there early, because it gets quite crowded by 11:30am on the weekends. But what great fun sitting in this beautiful park as the kids play with a custom water pad that has water shooters and fun sprinkles. And, while my wife is with the kids, sometimes I'll bring the dog and go to the dog park a block away. Fun for the whole family. read more

Great fun for the kids and grassy area for all! Pavilion is available for renting and is quite large with BBQ grills.
