Can families use splash pads during Thanksgiving week in warm states?

Thanksgiving-week splash pad visits are absolutely possible in places like South Florida, parts of Arizona, Southern California, and South Texas, especially during warm years. The challenge is not only weather but holiday operations. Parks departments may shorten hours, shut off the water on Thanksgiving Day itself, or run with skeletal staffing that slows restroom cleaning and maintenance response. Out-of-town relatives may also be divided: some will love the absurd novelty of a November splash day, and others will think wet grandchildren before dinner is a terrible idea. Use the outing as a flexible afternoon option, not the centerpiece of the whole week. Bring hoodies, towels, and sandals that can handle cool pavement, and set the tone as 'if it is open and feels good, great; if not, we still have a park walk or playground.'
