That hot summer sun has you reaching for the sprinkler. But before you can turn the hose on, your water babies are begging to hit the sprayground. Because even the coolest sprinklers can’t compete with the cannons, dump buckets and spray nozzles they’ll find there. Wanna know what other awesome splash pads features are out there? Flip through to find our faves from coast to coast.

The Quarry Splash Pad – Cedar Park, Tx

This unique rock water park was built on two acres of a former quarry and is split into three general areas: the Quarry (where you’ll find a waterfall, misters, bubblers, water jets, and water cannons), the Rapids (which features a rock waterslide), and a Sand Play Area. There are also picnic pavilions for when the kiddos have worked up an appetite. Fair warning: it may be tricky to keep an eye on multiple kiddos if they split up and head to different play areas.
