IT’S OFFICIAL: Florida summer is here and it’s going to be another HOT one! One way to keep your kiddos cool while having fun this summer is to visit the FREE splash parks around town. Most offer adequate shade, nearby seating as well as playgrounds when your kids need a break from the water.

Here are 6 splash pad parks in the Tampa Bay area
Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, 1001 N Blvd. Tampa, FL is a stunning 25-acre park located just north of the University of Tampa and across the Hillsborough River from the David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts.
Ballast Point Park, 5300 Interbay Blvd. Tampa, FL, This neighborhood park, which dates back to Tampa’s earliest days, offers spectacular views of downtown Tampa. The park is full of shade trees, two playgrounds and an interactive spray pad!
