Splish Splash Bash 2026

When the summer sun is blazing, the Splish Splash Bash offers the perfect midday escape for preschoolers. Huntsville Parks & Recreation invites families with children ages 3-5 to enjoy an afternoon of water play at the Everybody Can Play Splash Pad, where kids can run through fountains and cool off while parents relax nearby. The event adds special touches to regular splash pad fun, including popsicles to beat the heat, simple crafts to spark creativity, and upbeat music to keep the energy flowing. The bash takes place on Friday, July 24, from 1-3 p.m. at Brahan Spring Park, and admission is completely free. The Everybody Can Play Splash Pad is designed with accessibility in mind, making it welcoming for children of all abilities. Parents should plan to stay with their children throughout the event, as adult supervision is required for all participants. Bring towels, sunscreen, and a change of clothes for your little ones. Water shoes can help protect tender feet on warm surfaces. Since the event runs during the hottest part of the day, arriving with water bottles and sun hats is a smart move. The combination of structured activities and open play time means toddlers and preschoolers can enjoy the event at their own pace, whether they prefer splashing in the water features or taking breaks for crafts and frozen treats.
