The East Valley, likes most of the valley, is home to many splash pads and pools. This is a great way to get your kiddos out of the house to burn some energy and do something cheap as a family. We’ve personally visited many pool and options around the East Valley and due to the heat, its hard to drag us out of the water. Since there are so many parents I meet that have no idea about the water options we have, I put together this East Valley Splash Pad Guide for you to have some summer fun.

I see that the kids are really enjoying the water. It is a good reason to get the kids away from electronics.
One of the best parts of summer is getting into the water and splashing around.
Those all look so fun and refreshing! Thanks for adding the dates/times that they are open.
Although I can’t take advantage of this list due to location, I think this would be helpful for those in the area. I’m going to try to get my 2 year old into the water more this summer. 😀
What a great resource. We have a pool and splash pad in our neighborhood and I am so glad. There are not many pools in our town!
Ooh! We need a pool guide like this for our area. Summer is already upon us and it’s an awesome way to cool off on a hot day.
That is awesome. I am not in your area but I can’t believe all the locations they have.
You are helping so many moms with such a thoughtful list! Well done! I can’t believe how many options there are!
That is certainly an impressive list! There is definitely no shortage of choice and all of them are so affordable as well. With this much variety it makes sense to offer different options during the season, rather than sticking with just one venue. Keeps things interesting for the kids.
My Son loves to go to the Splash Pad. It is a fun way for them to cool off and have fun. This looks like a great one to check out.
This is actually perfect for the kids during summer. It’s summer here in the PH, and how I wish we have something like this that’s just within the city. This is an awesome list for those living in your area 😉

It’s great that you took the time to write all these down! I wish someone would do it for my city too!
Splash pad/ pools look like so much fun and I know it would be something for all the family to enjoy! Sounds great x
This looks like so much fun! We have a local splash pad that we plan on being at all summer long!
This looks like so much fun! Pools are such a good way to get some exercise in and cool off at the same time!
This guide is perfect for families during the summer. I like that there’s a lot of variety in this list so kids doesn’t get bored visiting the same place.
Wow! A complete guide! It’s so generous of you to compile everything. I’m sure it’ll be helpful
What a great list and just in time for Summer! Everything in this list looks like a place my kids would love to go to.
