Splash pads and water play for kids in Pasadena
Reese's Retreat at Brookside Park
A giant pirate ship with cannons and a plank, plus a sand pit with running water so the castles actually stay up.
La Pintoresca Park
The splash pad is the main event here, with shade, a small skate area and a library branch right on site.
Kidspace Children's Museum
Three and a half acres of hands-on everything: a stream to splash in, a physics forest to climb, a muddy farm to dig in.
