Splash pads in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

City Island in the middle of the Susquehanna is Harrisburg's family-fun anchor: mini golf, beach, batting cages, train rides, and a splash pad in one walkable island. The splash area is fenced, soft-surface, and right by the playground. Harrisburg Parks runs spray Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather dependent. Park in the City Island lots ($5 in season), restrooms throughout, and grab pizza or burgers from one of the island concessions. Walk the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge to downtown for post-splash ice cream. A genuine Capital Region classic and one of the best mid-Pennsylvania family destinations.
