When the McKenzie’s too cold, the coast is too far, and the kids have hit peak wiggle, Springfield’s answer is a genuine indoor waterpark: waves, a slide, a lap pool for the grown-ups who still want to feel athletic, and a hot tub for the ones who don’t. Small enough to be affordable, real enough to be worth the trip on its own.
Splash! is run by Willamalane Park and Recreation District and includes a wave pool, a 144-foot water slide, a six-lane 25-yard lap pool, a kiddie pool, an adult spa, a sun deck, and concessions.
