Located on Philbrook Drive, this park has a balanced mix of equipment for both bigger and little kids. It has two slides, a climbing wall, and some monkey bars. There is also a pair of swings and a spinning apparatus where kids can stand and spin themselves until their heart is content or their heads become dizzy.
There is a gazebo between the park and the splash pad area with two benches for eating a snack and getting a little shade. Once they are ready to cool off from the heat, the splash pad has multiple sprinklers in the ground that shoot up water and a pole with buckets that hang from it.
An insider tip to parents with little children: when the buckets are full of water, they will tip and dump water to the unsuspecting victims below. Some little ones may find this scary so make sure they know this before standing underneath one.
That said, my middle child says this is so cool since you can play a game of chicken with your friends as you all stand under the buckets waiting for one of them to dump. Coates Splash Pad is one of the more unique splash pad parks and, to my kids, is worth visiting.
