Wet Playgrounds of Hamilton County Open for Summer Fun

We belong to our local pool, but we also like to explore the community and find other places to play in water around town. Our favorite sort of wet playgrounds are those that are FREE or CHEAP! The Great Parks of Hamilton County have three wet playgrounds open to the public and the admission is super cheap.

When my kids were younger the wet playgrounds were a big hit, and we spent lots of time at them. Now that the kids are older we do not spend as much time at the wet playgrounds, but lucky for us each of the Great Parks wet playgrounds is part of a bigger park area that we can explore and play in! Check out these great deals and start planning your summer fun….
