splash pad
Wet play area
A splash pad is a shallow recreational water feature, typically in a public park, where children can play in jets, sprays, and fountains of water.
Unlike pools, splash pads have no standing water—water sprays up from the ground and drains away.
The kids spent all afternoon at the splash pad.
Also called a spray park or sprayground.
