The splash pad is open 7 days a week from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Parking and entrance fees apply.

Flowers City Park

New Rochelle

Need to know: This free splash has been recently renovated and reopened for the 2024 season. 


Louis Engel Waterfront Park

Ossining

Need to Know: There are two playgrounds in this park.  The one closest to the old Sing Sing has a beautifully renovated splash park - and my son loves the train equipment at the playground.  Mr. Softee makes the rounds frequently and the water is on a timer.  Bonus: The splash pad is gated.

Closed Wednesdays for camp use.

No entrance fees.

Matthiessen Park

Irvington

Need to Know: The adjacent playground is gated and good for young children.  The splash park is also well suited for littles and a popular spot for the under three crowd.

Pierson Park

Tarrytown

Need to Know: Paid meter parking or free parking with Parks pass.  Splash pad is located next to the playground.  Great river views and options for shade under the trees.


Saxon Woods

White Plains

Need to Know: This spray area is by pool admission only.  It has large water structures, and the water is deep enough for wading in, in addition to the splash features.  Saxon Woods also has a large playground, free parking, and mini-golf.

Sprain Ridge Pool

Yonkers

Need to Know: The sprinkler play area in this pool complex is great for little kids and has a zero-entry wading area, as well.  Along with the larger pool, families can also enjoy the concessions stand.

Parking and entrance fees do apply.  Westchester County residents only.

Tibbets Brook Park

Yonkers

Need to Know: This splash area is also through pool admission.  It's a large aquatic area with lifeguards.  Good for a variety of aged children, not just toddlers - although you'll want to keep a close eye on the little ones as it gets crowded.  There is a "lazy river" style experience and you can picnic and barbeque.  This is more of a day out than a quick splash park visit.

Parking and entrance fees do apply.  Westchester County residents only.

Willson's Woods Park

Mount Vernon

Need to Know: In addition to the sprinkler area in this pool complex, older children will enjoy the wave pool.

Parking and entrance fees do apply.  Westchester County residents only.
