Soak in the last bit of Summer!

Some have already started school and others are starting soon, but that doesn’t mean SUMMER is over just yet! We still have some time left of SUNSHINE and WATER fun. So, with that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of a few local splash pads & water park options for you to visit with your kiddos!

Another favorite of ours.. with a playground, splash pad, picnic area, & a boardwalk leading to the beach with the most beautiful views. We usually make a stop at the local Publix and buy fruits and chicken tenders or sandwiches and chips so we can sit and eat in their grass area. Let the kids play on the playgrounds and splash pad & then take the boardwalk down to the beach to hang out until sunset! Makes the perfect day!

This is a FREE park and all the amenities are as well. The parking can be a little difficult during the weekends. You usually have to pay valet or self parking meters. Sometimes when it is really full you may need to park further away on the street meters.
