About SplashPadHub
SplashPadHub is an independent national directory of splash pads and spray parks across the United States. We catalog every verified municipal, county, and community pad we can confirm — currently 866+ locations across all 50 states and the District of Columbia — with hours, fees, accessibility features, water-management system type where known, and parent-reported amenity notes.
We are not a manufacturer, vendor, or parks consultancy. We do not sell equipment, accept paid placement, or take money from manufacturers or parks departments. The directory is free for parents to search, and the data and research are free for journalists, researchers, and parks professionals to cite. SplashPadHub Research publishes an annual industry report and a state-by-state benchmarking brief.

Pull-quotes for journalists
Copy-paste-friendly quotes drawn from our 2026 research. See the full pull-quote bank for ten more.
"The U.S. now hosts an estimated 5,000 to 7,000 publicly accessible splash pads — a roughly 4x to 6x increase since 2010."
"The drowning rate at splash pads is functionally zero, in stark contrast to the roughly 4,000 unintentional drownings the CDC attributes to all U.S. water settings annually."
"Splash pad density tracks heat exposure, not wealth — small jurisdictions with active municipal park programs dominate the per-capita top decile, not large Sun Belt states."
"Roughly 98% of the directory is free to the public — making splash pads functionally the most universally free public-water amenity in America."
"Splash pads are no longer a parks-and-recreation footnote. They are climate infrastructure, public-health infrastructure, and the most equitable public-water amenity America builds."
