Now that we have been to the new Wardle Fields Regional Park + splash pad a few times, I feel like I can talk about it. I knew it was going to be busy, but nothing could prepare me for how busy it was the first day we went. So. Many. People. It really is amazing though, so I can see why everyone is going.
It is huge. It has everything that makes a splash pad fun. Waterfall, streams, lots of fountains! Lots of grass to put your shade that is close to the water. Major thumbs up!
The park is fantastic too! Except this Summer we are finding a shortage of swings, so it could use a few more of those in my kids humble opinions. I love that they have a good area for my little guy, but can keep the interest of the older kids too!
The biggest complaint is you can't see the park when you are at the splash pad. I wouldn't categorize myself as a helicopter Mom, but it is a prime location for losing children.
Is it worth going? You betcha. We have tried a few different times during the day, hoping to find a time that is not sooo overwhelming. It was definitely best later in the evening, but be warned the water shuts off at 7:00 PM. We were disappointed, because we still had at least an hour still in us to play.
If you want a splash pad that you can just sit and relax while the littles play nearby, I would not pick this one. This is definitely more of a get in and play with them type of splash pad/park!
