Read more about this location
Parkersburg City Park Inclusive Splash Pad is a summer-focused water play area designed so children of all ages and abilities can cool off and play together. Project materials and city information support accessible pathways, ground-level play opportunities, and a mix of gentle and high-energy water features that work well for different sensory preferences. It sits inside the city's main park, so families also have access to restrooms, parking, shelters, walking paths, and other park amenities. This is a better fit for warm-weather outdoor play than for families specifically seeking a traditional inclusive dry playground.
