About
Alger Park Splash Pad, located at 921 Alger St SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a popular, free public water play area. Operated by the city, it features various interactive water elements like jets and sprayers, making it an ideal family-friendly destination for cooling off during the summer months. It is typically open seasonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day and is an unstaffed facility within Alger Park.
As a splash pad, the water used is typically unheated municipal tap water. Therefore, specific pool temperatures are not maintained or publicly available, and the water temperature will vary with ambient ground water conditions, generally being cool.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This small, neighborhood splash pad is mostly shaded, which is a highly appreciated feature. It includes cycling water elements, benches, picnic tables, and immediately adjacent bathrooms/changing rooms. A playground is also located nearby. While the splash pad is fenced, the fence is not continuous, and the street entrance and parking can be unclear.

Small splash pad in a neighborhood. Fenced in, but the fence is not continuous. Mostly shaded, which is nice. Some of the water elements "take turns" turning on and off.Playground is nearby. Several benches and picnic tables. Bathrooms/changing rooms immediately next to splash pad. Entrance from street and parking is unclear.

Loved this little splash pad, best part is that there's actually shade in the middle of the day!
