What's a two-dad family changing room strategy at splash pads?

Two-dad families with daughters — or any same-gender family configuration with opposite-gender kids — face the same changing-room logistics as solo dads. Solutions: (1) Family or all-gender single-stall restrooms — now standard at municipal pads built since 2020. Always the easiest option. (2) Hooded poncho towels — let kids change at the bench under cover. (3) Pop-up changing tents — $25-40, fits in a bag. (4) Pre-visit research — call the parks department or check the pad website for restroom photos. (5) Coordination — the dad most comfortable with the situation handles changes; many two-dad families designate a 'changing-room dad' for outings. As kids age into 7-9, they often handle their own changes in single-stall family restrooms while one dad waits outside. Staff at most splash pads are unfazed by two-dad families; they've seen everything. Don't let logistics keep you from showing up. Building Pride community with other two-dad families can also share local pad recommendations.
