About the Program
If your baby loves playing with water but is not yet ready for the high energy community splashpads bring, join us as we create a safer, low-energy option for your baby to splash away. Each session begins with a storytime before a splash-tastic time. Please remember to bring a towel and a change of clothes, if needed.
