Georgia vs Alabama vs Florida splash pads

Georgia, Alabama, and Florida form a tight Deep South cluster where summer cooling is less optional than in most of the country. Florida runs the longest season by a wide margin, with much of the state usable nearly year-round and a tourism economy that keeps pads in good shape. Georgia delivers metro Atlanta as a major splash-pad anchor and pairs it with strong mid-sized city networks in Savannah, Augusta, and Columbus. Alabama is the smallest network of the three but punches above its weight per capita, with Birmingham, Huntsville, and Mobile each running solid municipal systems. All three states default to free pads and increasingly use timer-button activation to control water use.
