Bookmark and Share

The SplashPark is one of the most popular features of South Germantown Recreational Park. Kids will have an excellent time and stay cool playing in the one-of-a-kind 280-jet water maze, cave with a waterfall, water bucket drops, slide, and spraying animals. Tables and umbrellas provide shaded rest areas. On-site restrooms, changing rooms, and vending machines are available. The SplashPark also features a fun Jumping Pillow that will keep kids hopping all day long!

An 18-hole miniature golf course sits adjacent to the SplashPark. Designed with delicate contour changes, sloping greens, and natural obstacles, this accessible course will challenge golfers of all ages (including adults).
