# Splash pads and spraygrounds in Grand Rapids, for hot days with little kids

> 15 splash pads and spraygrounds in Grand Rapids, from Grand Rapids Parks & Recreation’s own page. The city says its pools and splash pads are closed for the 2026 season. Each card has the address and what the page lists for hours, marked as last season’s (2026), because 2027 dates aren’t posted yet. The city lists every one as free. We’ll update this page when the 2027 season is posted.
