Splash pads in Southlake, Texas

Bicentennial Park is the heart of Southlake's family scene and the splash pad lives up to the suburb's reputation for nice everything — wide deck, ground sprays for toddlers, arching jets for older kids, and a destination playground with shade sails. Free parking, spotless restrooms, pavilions are first-come free. Parent gotcha: Southlake follows North Texas drought-stage rules and Stage 2 has trimmed pad hours — check the city site. The lot fills by 11am on July weekends. Best on weekday mornings. Walk to Southlake Town Square after for ice cream and a stroll. Polished Tarrant-county suburban summer.
