Nice place. Well maintained. Polite staff. Clean restrooms. Close parking.
I saw someone try to drop their little kids off and leave. The staff monitors this and wont allow children to enter without an adult. Bring a chair to sit in. There are no seats inside the splash area. If you are a resident of Roswell, you can buy a season individual or family pass. It has A very good snack bar with hot dogs, candy, hot cocoa, coffee, several types of ice cream treats, soda, water and chips. $2 or less for almost everything.
I am surprised that some people dont understand the need for no food in the splash pad area. Geez. There are picnic tables a few steps away outside of the fence. Roswell tries to keep things as nice for everyone as possible. Kids with food in the water at a splash park doesnt support a pleasant experience.
I seriously would avoid juice and sticky drinks. There are yellow jackets in Georgia near the river that are attracted to soda cans and juice boxes. Nothing anyone can do about it so best to not give them a reason to be near you.
You will need a swim diaper if you have a small child. They sell them if you forgot. Once again,like the no food inside policy, it is to keep the water safe. You will be asked to leave if your child enteres the water in a regular diaper.
People can rent the pavillion. There is a sign in a case on a post at the north side of the pavillion that tells visitors if it has been rented and the hours it is rented for. If someone was asked to move from a table, that is most likely the reason. Its easy to not see the sign though.
You can rent the pad for a private event or birthday party. The kids birthday party oackage includes pizza and is priced affordably for residents. Non residents can book the splash park also but pay more.
On the weekends there is music on the stage. No need to bring food. They sell fresh grilled hotdogs and burgers that are amazingly affordable. Get there early with your lawn chairs and blankets to get a sopt up front.
Sometimes I complain about how high my city of Roswell taxes are but then I think about how wonderful our Parks and Rec...
Read moreThey will turn you away of you are paying with a $20 so bring exact cash. Good fun for little money. Not a very big water spot. But fun for a bit. They asked us move from our picnic table after a while. That was strange. We were an entire group so we were using it. Maintenance was very chatty and talked with us for quite a bit before changing the garbage can by us explaining how full the garbage was with the people at the table before us and continuing on into other topics. That was a little different for our get together but he seemed nice for a stranger. It was a good place to go have fun on a hot day for a bit that won't break the bank. They do not allow toys in the water area. They do not allow food in the water area, so if you are watching you kid you can't snack there watching them. Overall it was nice, just a lot of little inconveniences you have to follow and you may have to move from your...
Read moreThe spray grounds at Riverside Park is great for kids! Parents need to bring a chair if they want to sit in the shade there are only a few benches in the shade (and these fill up fast!) One of the shaded areas gets pretty wet on the ground, and the other shaded area stays dry.
You were only supposed to bring in water and no food or other drinks. There is someone at the front gate that checks to make sure you’ve paid and put on your wristband.
It is only two dollars per child to come in. They do not make you pay if you’re not going to get in the water - so parents don’t have to pay if they’re not gonna be getting it.
This area is closed on Tuesdays and most days they don’t open until 10a - see photos of hours and days.
The water has a pretty strong chlorine smell to it. A lot of kids preferred to...
