The temperatures are soaring and nothing beats the heat like playing in the water. Our contributor, Carissa Joy shares about her favorite park to head to for some fun water play.
I don’t know about you, but I have come to love splash pads! My favorite splash pad that I have found is at Citrus Park in Corona. What I love the most about this splash pad is the layout and variety of water features that are available. There are interactive areas with water guns and various equipment that you can turn to increase or decrease water flow to certain areas. It seems there are always kids of all ages playing at the splash pad and there’s room for everyone.
Another thing I love about Citrus Park is the proximity of the playgrounds to the splash pad. There are 2 playgrounds at this park, one for little kids and another for older kids. Both are side-by-side. There is plenty of grass and space to lay out picnic blankets and umbrellas/canopies too! It is very possible to sit in a central spot and see all of your kids, even when some want to splash and others want to climb the structures. There isn’t much shade at Citrus park so bring an umbrella or easy-up and lots of sunscreen!

Can you list the other splash pads in orange county? Especially, any in south orange county???
Hi Jill,
I just posted a list on Facebook from Just-Spotted. There are some fun splash pads in South County. Check it out.
When my kids were little they loved to splash around at the Fashion Island fountains. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
This citrus splash zone is great. I do recommend to have your children wear water shoes, the ground gets very slippery.
Had a great afternoon here with the grandkids. I would definately suggest bringing an umberella or some protection from the sun, it was 101 degrees when we were there, and not much shade.
