The southeast Houston area is home to some wonderful splash pads that feel like mini waterparks — and they’re absolutely free to visit. Baytown is no exception. The splash pad at Jenkins Park is without a doubt a standout.
Along with the splash pad, there’s a basketball pavilion, an artificial turf soccer field, and a running/biking trail that has doubled in size over the last few years, as well as baseball and softball fields and a frisbee golf course.
This gem feels especially open, airy, and thoughtfully designed. Wide green spaces stretch out under big Texas skies, walking trails wind gently through shaded areas, and benches are tucked just close enough to the action for parents to relax while still keeping an eye on their little explorers.
We had been looking forward to this visit for a long time, and the excitement was real the moment we parked. The kids could barely wait — towels in hand, we headed straight for the splash pad.
The layout is playful and inviting, with tall cattail sprayers rising above the water zone, sprinklers popping up unexpectedly from the ground, and streams of water arcing through the air.
And then there’s the alligator slide — bright, cheerful, and impossible to ignore — instantly becoming the star of the day.
Jenkins Park Splash Deck is one of six splash pads in Baytown, so there’s sure to be one that fits your vibe. All splash pads are open daily from 10 AM to 8 PM, making it easy to plan a sunny outing.
Pack your bathing suit, towel, and sunscreen, and get ready to enjoy a variety of refreshing spray features that keep kids laughing and cooling off all day long.
