As a parent, finding the perfect spot to cool off and keep the kids entertained during those scorching summer days is a mission in itself. But fear not, because we've got the perfect spot right here in Maricopa: the Splashpad at the Copper Sky Aquatics Center - operated by the City of Maricopa.
Let me paint you a picture of our recent adventure there.
First things first, getting in was a breeze since we're members of Copper Sky. If you're not a member, don't worry, day rates are available during lap swim times OR if you go during open swim times it's $2/kids and $4/adults. Affordable fun for the whole family!
Now, let's talk about what makes this Splashpad stand out. Picture this: two dump buckets tipping over and drenching everyone below in a delightful cascade of water. Add to that several sprayers strategically placed around the area, ensuring no one escapes the refreshing mist. Plus, the rubberized, non-slip flooring gave me peace of mind knowing my little one could run around safely.
As a parent, I appreciated the attention to detail in ensuring the area was family-friendly and safe for kids of all ages. There were ample shaded areas with seating, so I could relax and keep an eye on my adventurous little water bug.
One thing to note is that the Splashpad operates during specific hours, typically aligned with the Aquatics Center's schedule. So be sure to check the timings before planning your visit.
All in all, our day at the Splashpad was an absolute blast. It's the perfect spot to beat the heat, let the kids burn off some energy, and create lasting memories with the family. Whether you're a local or just passing through Maricopa, make sure to add the Copper Sky Aquatics Center to your summer bucket list. Trust me, you won't regret it!
See you at the Splashpad!
