By Publisher Jessica Mitchell July 18, 2023

Looking for fun places to beat the heat this week?! We wanted to share our favorite TOP FIVE picks in Southington - Bristol - Cheshire to have water fun! 

Pick 1: Memorial Park Pool and Splash Pad - Woodruff Street, Southington

We love this park BUT you must be a Southington resident to use the Splash Pad and Pool. There is a small playground that was recently built along with picnic tables under the shade. There is not much shade around the pool and splash pad area though. 

Pick 2: Rockwell Park Pool and Splash Pad - 238 Jacobs Street, Bristol

Another great splash pad that can be visited by any! You do NOT need to be a Bristol resident to use. There is a pool at this park as well and you can pay for a daily pass! There is not shade around this splash pad but nice benches to sit on along with being fenced in. 

Pick 3: Paderewski Park and Splash Pad - 93 Cooke Street, Plainville

This splash pad is alongside a fun playground! Use both and enjoy your day! 

Pick 4: Lake Compounce Water Park - 185 Enterprise Drive, Bristol

One of our favorite places to keep cool is not a FREE option but a great family day! Reminder: Lockers are not free at the water park. 

Pick 5: Page Park - 651 King Street, Bristol

Another great splash pad option! You are able to use this location without being a Bristol resident. There is a pool at this location but there is a daily fee. 

Whichever place you pick to keep your family cool this week - We hope you have fun! A great suggestion is to pack a lunch and make it into a fun day!
