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.

Check Schedule First
