Splash Pads are the best on a hot summer day. We really love splash pads for young kids because they are safer than the swimming pool. I even enjoy splashing at the splash pad! Utah is full of splash pads, thank goodness, since it gets quite toasty here in the summer. We put together a list of the best Splash Pads in Utah County that are a lot of fun.
Adventure Heights : Spanish Fork
This is our favorite splash pad because it is so big. There are 3 big areas to splash and get wet in, and we especially love the huge waterfall to walk through. Adventure Heights also has a large all-abilities playground. Open May 15 for 2026.
Spanish Fork Splash Pad
Spanish Fork has two splash pads and this one is right off the 1-15. It sprays a lot of water, so our boys love coming here to get super wet. It’s a great spot for cooling off. It’s also right next to North Park (and Costco for lunch). Open May 15, 2026.
Springville Splash Pad
The Springville Splash Pad has a little river and an area with bigger sprayers. There is also a playground next door and a few big trees for shade. This was one of the first splash pads that we visited. Open May 9 for 2026.
Cole Park Splash Pad
This splash pad is small, but it is adorable. The entire park is farm themed, so you will probably mostly play at the fun park, but the little splash pad is a great place to cool off. This is an especially great splash pad for toddlers because there aren’t huge sprayers and it is not crowded. Open May 21 for 2026.
Provo Splash Pad
You will find the Provo Splash Pad at Pioneer Park in Provo. This splash pad is similar to the Spanish Fork splash pad in that it sprays a lot of water. There is also a curtain of water coming off one building that our boys think is super fun. There is lots of shade at this park, a large pavilion, and a playground. Opens May 23, 2026.
Vineyard Grove: Orem
Vineyard Grove Park’s splash pad is unique because it has a large slide (the playground is pretty unique, too). The slide is a super fun way to stay cool. There are also lots of little sprayers and a shallow stream for the littlest kiddos. Open May 22, 2026.
Palisade Park: Orem
This is one of the busiest splash pads we have been to, but maybe it was the day we were there. Palisade Park Splash Pad has a fun waterfall that is based off of Mount Timpanogos. There are also some little sprayers and a river. This park has a playground and a large pavilion. They also have a snack shack that is open often in the summer. Opens May 25, 2026.
Hillcrest Park Splash Pad: Orem
The splash pad at Hillcrest Park is a more standard splash pad with a big spraying area, like the Provo Splash pad, but there are a few things we really liked. One, there is a small area for little kids and it has benches right next to it. The benches get wet, but then you can be right there with your small kids. Also this area is shady! And there are tables with shade around the splash pad. Opens May 25, 2026.
Cook Family Park: Pleasant Grove
This splash pad is super fun because it is a pirate ship. You can tell in this picture, but the water coming down from the top looks just like a sail. My boys had a blast playing here. There are lots of places to get wet. Opens May 25, 2026.
Creekside Splash Pad: Alpine
This splash pad never seems very busy, but it is super fun for younger kids. There are lots of little sprayers and it has a small fence around it to keep kids in. There are 3 different playgrounds to check out at this park, too. Opens May 25, 2026.
Harvey Park: Cedar Hills
Harvey Park’s playground and splash pad are all based on a space theme. The splash pad has a big dumper that looks like a rocket ship. There are also some little sprayers, as well as a few planets with bubbling water. Opens May 23, 2026.
Highland Towne Center Splash Pad
The Highland Splash Pad is the original Utah County splash pad. We have been splashing at this splash pad since our oldest was a baby. This splash pad is a large river, which is quite a few inches deep. There are rocks to climb on in the river. This splash pad also has an area with bigger sprayers, too. Opens May 25, 2026.
Ivory Ridge Splash Pad: Lehi
My boys prefer the Lehi Splash Pad for racing their flip flops. They say it is the best spot for flip-flop races. This splash pad is especially great for little kids because there are small sprayers all around and nothing big to dump on a little one. But there are plenty of fun places to splash. Closed due to vandalism to bathrooms. Check for new opening date.
Lehi Family Park: Lehi
This splash pad is the biggest splash pad I have ever seen. It winds behind the entire Family Park of Lehi. We were so impressed with how big it was. The splash pad is one big river, but there are little sprayers along the sides, and a spot with a waterfall. Plenty of space to spread out and splash. Opens May 25, 2026.
Cory Wride Memorial Park: Eagle Mountain
This park has so much to do, and is super fun. The splash pad at Cory Wride Memorial Park is also amazing. Our boys love the little waterfalls that they can stand underneath. There is also a little river with sprayers. Half of the splash pad is covered with a shade sail, too. Opens May 23, 2026.
Most of these splash pads are next to an awesome park, but not all. So if you are looking for some amazing parks to visit, too, check out our list of 20 of the best parks in Utah County!
You can also check out Nolan Park (closed for 2026 due to drought) or Santaquin Sunset Trails Splash Pad. Both of these spots have splash pads, but they are smaller.
