Splash pads in Lima, Ohio

Faurot Park is Lima's flagship and the splash pad is a destination unto itself — wide zero-depth deck, separate toddler and big-kid zones, plus interactive jets that fire in patterns. The destination playground next door has rope nets and slides for the post-water dry-off. Free parking is abundant, restrooms are clean, and the pavilions are first-come free. Best on weekday mornings; the Lima families know this is the best free afternoon in town. Parent gotcha: the deck heats up by 1pm, so morning visits beat the burn. Pack a picnic and bring extra clothes. Lima's pride.
