Changing tent
Definition
A small portable privacy enclosure — often pop-up fabric — that parents bring to splash pads to change kids out of wet swimsuits without using a public restroom.
Changing tents have become standard splash-pad parent gear because most municipal pads either have no on-site restroom or have a single port-a-john that is impractical for changing. A pop-up tent ($25–$60) sets up in 30 seconds.
Well-designed splash pads include a permanent changing pavilion with a shaded slab and hooks. In their absence, a portable tent is the workaround most parents adopt by their second visit.
