Trying to Stay Cool?

By Christine

Are you looking for something to do with the little ones in the Austin area these next couple of weeks? If you have small children and want to stay cool, the Quarry Splash Pad in Leander at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park is just the ticket! At just just $1 per child, it’s a super fun outing and incredibly affordable.

We heard about this great splash pad from a new friend, through our good friend Andrew. All of us met at Quarry Splash Pad last weekend, and loved it so much I just had to tell you about it! 

Leander, TX - Quarry Splash Pad

In addition to lots of areas in which you can get soaked (including a waterfall I forgot to snap a pic of), there are picnic tables, synthetic grass, a sand pit, and a climbing wall. The slide was a big hit, although my boys wanted deperately to climb up it, as they do most slides. They also wanted to climb all of the rocks around the splash pad. Both a big no-no. After being redirected a few times, they easliy kept themselves occupied for the rest of our visit.

There are a couple of areas that you can reserve – both in the shade – one near the sand pit, and one near the splash pad, so either be sure to do so, or check the posted schedule for the day before throwing your stuff in these areas. Otherwise, there is plenty of space to set up camp elsewhere.

The splash pad is currently open 7 days a week, from 10am to 7pm, but the last day of operation is Sunday, September 29, 2013, so don’t wait! I heard mornings are pretty crowded, so maybe plan to visit after lunch. Even us “big kids” got drenched so, wear your suit, mom and dad. And, remember to bring something to drink and maybe a few snacks… If your kids are anything like mine, they WILL need a bit of something!
