A cute little area for kids to play. The splash pad is $2 per person, CASH ONLY. Minimal parking right by the park, though there is additional parking for the area nearby, might fill up on the weekends. The closest ATM is across the street by the city hall. The entire area is enclosed, with only one entrance/exit and it closes between 12-12:20 for cleaning. The main attraction is the slide in the middle, which is suitable for toddlers and up. There were kids of a variety of ages when we went on a Monday, though it may feel small for older children. There are benches all around to sit at. No food permitted inside (a mother was asked to take her children outside to eat). The attendants the day we went were reasonably friendly, but were mostly there to enforce rules. The park does seem in need of upkeep - some of the water spray things are a little wobbly, and the netting is torn on one side leading to the park. The playground (separate and free) was also quite popular and shaded, but similarly has areas that are a bit worn down. There's a set of baby swings and a set of normal swings. There is also a walking path which we did not go down off to the side, a little tucked away. It is by the water and near the sea plane docking area so we saw a sea plane take off and another land in the hour or so we were in the area.

It's a beautiful park, very well kept and has places to dine nearby. Sea planes frequently flying around and landing. Nice lake for fishing with docks that are easily accessible. Bird watching can be done here as well. Dog friendly, with a fountain for dogs and humans, as well as bag dispensers throughout the park. There's also a nice and unique playground for children. 2 gazebos, plenty of benches and a couple of areas to grill. Very nice and well kept restrooms. Ice cream shop across the street, as well as a pub and 2 fun restaurants with live music close by. You can schedule a ride in sea plane if you're feeling adventurous. Once they add some shops and more small businesses it will be perfect. 😀

Nice place to bring your children on a hot day to cool off in the water park or just walk around and get exercise. Maybe even go rent a kayak or bring your own and paddle around the lake. Also can go for a ride in a seaplane, for a price of course, at one of the seaplane tours businesses. I believe there are two of them nearby. End your day at one of the local restaurants with a few drinks and some food, possibly w/ some live music depending on where you go. If you're with the kids or still have some of the kid left in you then the ice cream parlor would make a nice choice.

My family and I helped build this park in the 90s. It's a pleasure of a memory going back. I am so glad it is still standing and I am able to bring my niece to play like I did. Wooten Park is unique with wooden Castles, swings, secret telephone stations and plenty of resting areas. The Park now has so much more.. pavilions, restrooms, docks to go in to see the Lake. Splash Park, Train Station. Ice cream, pubs and shops close by. This is the best park in Lake County. Thank you for the memories.

This is one of the nicer splash pads our family has been to. It has large trees which offer great shade and benches around the interior which makes it comfortable for parents to sit and observe their kids. The cost of admission is $2 cash per person, even for adults not participating and tiny babies, no complaints, just passing on what we learned. If you don't have cash, there is an ATM just down the street. Great park also features a nice playground just steps away from the splash pad.

This is a fun place for kids! There is a nice fenced playground next to the splash pad. The playground could use some maintenance but it's a great place to play nonetheless. The splash pad is 2$ and they have lil swimmers (water diapers) for 1$ but the playground is free. The splash pad is very cute and the material that is used for the ground makes for a non-slippery, not-too-hot fun time. My kids enjoyed it.
