About
The Tavares Splash Pad, located at Wooton Park (306 E Ruby St, Tavares, FL 32778, USA), is a popular family-friendly outdoor water play area. It features various sprayers, fountains, and interactive water elements designed for children to cool off and enjoy, typically operating during warmer months. It's often found adjacent to other park amenities, making it a convenient stop for recreation.
As a splash pad, the water is not temperature-controlled or heated. The water temperature is generally ambient, reflecting the local municipal water supply temperature and outdoor air conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The splash pad receives mixed feedback. Positive aspects include its affordability and suitability for hot Florida days, with some appreciating its proximity to a nearby park. However, there are significant recurring issues. Many visitors express frustration over frequent and unexpected closures, often after traveling long distances. Other concerns include an incident involving fire ants causing multiple stings, a new design with slides described as too fast and potentially favoring older children, and a $2 cash-only entrance fee.

The splash park is amazing, but when it was time to go, I didn’t realize until too late that ants were all over my cover-up and when I put it on, I got stung all over my arms, my neck and all over my ankles. Thankfully, my three year-old granddaughter did not appear to have gotten bitten. I must have 10 bites. I’m assuming by fire ants on one ankle.

Seems like the old design was better. The new slides are way too fast and older kids just kept going super fast and took over the area. Costs $2 per person cash entering.

Great, cheap splash pad especially on a hot day in Florida. 🌊 We also love the park that's right nearby so kids can cool off then dry off while playing. ❤️

Really angry with this splash pad. We came all the way from lake Mary to see the seaplanes and pass this summer with the kids in Memorial Day at the pad . It was temporarily closed , many kids didn’t got the chance to pass the heat , so sad.
