splash park

Wet play area

A splash park is a recreational water play area, typically for children, featuring fountains, jets, and sprayers but no standing water.

Unlike pools, splash parks require no lifeguards since water drains away immediately: The kids cooled off at the splash park.

Also called a spray park or splash pad.
