πŸ’¦Outdoor Splash PadsπŸ’¦


The Bay Aquatic Park 

250 Spader Way, Broomfield, CO 80020

Located within The Bay Aquatic Park (so admission is required), your little ones will love running around and splashing in fountains of various sizes, including a circular splash area that is perfect for running through!


Louisville Community Park

955 Bella Vista Drive, Louisville, CO 80027

This free splash pad at Community Park is a great way to cool off on a hot summer day! While you're there, you can also enjoy the playground or watch dogs have a hay-day in the designated dog play area also at the park.


Festival Plaza

311 S. Public Road, Lafayette, CO 80002

Grab some ice cream at Eats & Sweets and head next door to the fountains for a perfect summer afternoon! 


Great Outdoors Water Park

500 S. Boulder Road, Lafayette, CO 80026

Located within The Great Outdoors Water Park (so admission is required). There is a 'Grand Eagle Dump Bucket' that playfully spills water every few minutes perching high atop the fully accessible, zero-depth-entry leisure pool. Find the spot with the best splash or make friends with our playful river otters climbing the structure! There is also a 'Trout Spray.' Trout jump out of the edge of our zero-depth entry pool, sending water flying into the air in fun streams to splash and play. And last but not least, the 'Flower Garden', where  our native Colorado flower is always in bloom, sprinkling water all around while it's petals bring a splash of color to the park. This garden doesn't need to be watered - it will water you!


Coal Creek Park

575 Kattell Street, Erie, CO 80516

The new Kattell Street promenade will lead the community into the event space, with ample room for festivals and concerts. This new park layout also features a 2,500-square-foot community building with four restrooms, a café, and a community room. There will be plenty of shade at Coal Creek Park, with trees and two large shade shelters, with one adjacent to the playground featuring slides, swings, nature-themed climbers, and a rope structure.  

The highlight of the playground is a custom-built butterfly structure, in memory of Maddie McDaniel, dubbing the playground, “Maddie’s Playground.” Maddie was only weeks old when she passed, and Erie Parks & Recreation worked closely with her family and their non-profit, Maddie’s Bows, to create a place to honor her memory and the memory of other children who left the world too early. 

Finally, the splash pad rounds out the myriad of activities at Coal Creek Park, but the fun doesn’t stop once winter rolls in. In the winter, the splash pad will transform into the Town’s new ice rink location. The park will have ample parking, with an EV charging station, Wi-Fi, and a future connection to the Coal Creek Disc Golf Course to the east via a pedestrian bridge across Coal Creek Park.
