Splash pads provide fun near 95th Street and Wolf’s Crossing Road

Naperville Park District operates two splash pads: one at the 95th Street Community Plaza at 3109 Cedar Glade Drive (behind the 95th Street Library) and one at Wolf’s Crossing Community Park at 3252 Wolf’s Crossing Road (south of Trumpet Avenue). Both splash pads are scheduled to open for the season on Memorial Day Weekend, weather permitting.

Note from Naperville Park District: With plans to open Centennial Beach for the season Memorial Day Weekend, the Park District will not offer Midday Spray at Rotary Hill in 2022. Midday Spray began during the summer of 2020 to provide a place for kids to enjoy water play while Centennial Beach was closed, then ran for one more year as the pandemic continued to limit some recreation options.
