#20 - Princeton Splash Pad

This is our most favorite splash pad. It's too bad it isn't closer to the Twin Cities area! (Princeton is about an hour's drive north of Minneapolis.) It costs $4 each to get in. The area is pretty big and it's all enclosed. There is no standing water.

The fence and lack of standing water make this a worry-free zone.

I can feel good about letting my 12-month old and older kids run loose. I love a water play area where I don't have to hover.

The splash pad is a bit hidden in Mark Park. Just drive all the way to the back; it's behind the park building. 11th Ave. So & 5th St. So. The place opens at 11 a.m.

I've written about it before at: http://drivingwiththewindowswideopen.blogspot.com/2010/07/splash-park-2-princeton-minn.html
