The only downside is that the only bathroom facilities are port-a-potties. There is also a basketball court, and a picnic pavilion. There is a playground next to the splashpad - with a mulched bottom. It appears to be open whenever the park is open. The splashpad runs on a motion sensor, so it may look "off" when you get there, but you just need to activate it. My 9-month-old also had fun crawling over the low fountain spouts. With a variety of water heights, and the unknown timing of the water spouts, it's a great place for even 2-year olds. It was the perfect place to play on a hot day. I think a splash pad could make a great addition to most local parks here in the Harrisburg area.Thanks to a tip from a friend, we recently discovered Middlesex Splash Pad in Carlisle I think it was because the features were so gentle, he was able to fully enjoy the splash pad. I was pleasantly surprised when after a few moments of getting used to it all, he was running head first through the streams of water. I would like to point out that I was alittle nervous that Javon would not enjoy this much because he is not a fan of water spraying anywhere near his face. The fun was not only for the little ones though, I witnessed 2 dads and at least one mom joining in and they looked to be having just as much fun as the kids. It's a great little place to cool off on a hot summer day. The water constantly drains so there is no standing water. There are about 10 different holes where water shoots up from the ground at different hights and angles. This one is a 30x30' slab of concrete that is painted bright blue. So what is a splash pad exactly? It's pretty much a glorified sprinkler.
