Northshore Splash Pads

When I was a kid I don’t think splash pads existed. Now days they seem to be popping up everywhere! What I know for sure is that my kids absolutely love the things. As a result we have driven all over creation visiting a lot of different splash pads. Here’s a list of the ones on the Northshore.
