Gina I. said:  Cool off at Bedrosian Park's Splash Pad this summer! Kids love the wacky spray features and parents love that the area is partially contained so little ones can't easily wander off. Bedrosian Park also features playground equipment, a basketball court, and most important...bathrooms!

In addition to the splash pad, Hobson Corner Park offers a baseball practice infield, 4 tennis courts, and 4 pickleball courts.

The Splash Park features 12 spray pieces including: water tower, team spray, water tunnel, aqua dome, and zero-depth pad.

The Early Learning Playscape at Naper Settlement is a fort-themed playground and splash pad featuring a replica covered wagon, trading post, animal track path, and sensory prairie garden.

Gina I. said:  Ice cream and a splash pad? Yes please! Located next to Oberweis in the Schaumburg Town Square, this cozy splash pad is great for your wee ones (and older kids who don't mind sharing space with the littles). Kids and adults can cool off with a delicious frozen treat from Oberweis (or Menchie's which is just across the courtyard). The Town Square also features a variety of summer events and a picturesque pond that is perfect for a quick stroll.

Enjoy the larger-than-life spraying flowers, water cannons and sand play area. Convenient vending for snacks, picnic areas, shuffleboard and sand volleyball areas, too.
