Splash Pads Are Still Open – But Not for Long! Summer may technically be winding down, but South Louisiana clearly didn’t get the memo! With plenty of hot, sunny days still ahead, Baton Rouge splash pads are the perfect place to let the kids cool off, burn some energy, and enjoy a little more outdoor fun.
But don’t wait too long! BREC splash pads close for the season on October 13, which means we only have a few more weeks to squeeze in those splash pad adventures.
So grab the swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, and snacks and make the most of these final weeks of splash pad season! 💦 Below, we’ve rounded up Baton Rouge-area splash pads to visit before the water turns off for the year.
