Splash pads and spraygrounds in Madison, WI, for hot days with little kids.
Four splash pads and spraygrounds in Madison, from City of Madison Parks’ own page. The city lists all four splash parks as closed for the 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.
