Is there a resident vs tourist rate at splash pads?

Resident pricing is one of the most common ways cities recover splash pad operating costs. A typical structure charges residents $4-$6 and non-residents $8-$12 for the same admission. The verification standard is usually a current driver's license, utility bill, or property tax statement showing an address inside city limits. School district residency sometimes counts even when the family lives outside the municipal boundary. Resort towns like Park City, Asheville, and Sedona occasionally skip resident pricing at the splash pad itself but recoup the difference via tourist parking surcharges of $5-$15 per car. Free splash pads almost never check residency. If you visit a city often, ask whether they sell a non-resident punch card — buying ten visits at once usually beats paying gate prices.
