Tips for a Great Splash Pad Visit
Beat the Heat
Go earlier or later in the day. The City of Belleview advises taking breaks in the shade, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM.
Sun Protection
Florida sun is intense. Bring high-SPF sunscreen and reapply every two hours. Consider a rash guard for extended exposure.
Stay Hydrated
Bring plenty of water and drinks. The combination of sun, activity, and water play can lead to dehydration quickly.
Supervision is Key
Always keep a close eye on children, whatever their age.
Bring Shade
The playscape is covered, but the rest of the pad is in the sun. A hat, umbrella or folding chair helps between water play sessions.
