Splash pads in Concord, New Hampshire

White Park is the Concord parent move and a New Hampshire summer ritual. The spray feature sits next to the playground and a real swimming pond (yes, you can wade) under massive shade trees. Concord Parks runs the spray late June through Labor Day, daytime only, with the typical 70F minimum. It is free, with abundant parking, clean restrooms, and ducks for the inevitable bread-tossing detour. The State House is six blocks away for a civics-lesson combo, and Granite State Candy on Warren Street is the post-splash sugar bribe. October foliage transforms this park; mark the return trip even though the spray will be off.
