ummer in Laredo can be pretty hot, and that is why it’s always a great idea to cool off with your little ones at any of our Splash Parks. A splash park is an aquatic facility for children, where safety is the number one priority as water will always be shallow. It is a place with equipment for young children to play outdoors in water and is fitted with a non-slip or safety surface with various nozzles and features that can shower, spray, rain, mist, and/or shoot streams of water.

E

The City of Laredo is home to 10 Splash Park locations and you can take advantage when they open on June 4, Tuesdays through Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
