If you’re looking for a way to cool off and switch up your usual summer outing routine, might we suggest some of the delightful splash parks located around town? All of these options across town have 4+ stars on Google, so you can’t go wrong!
Heathwood Park | Kansas City, KS
The concrete splash pad at Heathwood Park is fenced in and offers plenty of space for kids of all ages to run around and cool off – you just might want to jump on in yourself!
Dagg Park: North Kansas City, MO
Dagg Park is open every summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and its location just a few blocks away from the awesome food options at Iron District means you can make a whole summer day of this fun outing!
