SAN ANTONIO – Families seeking ways to stay cool ahead of the triple-digit temperatures this week in San Antonio can turn to splash pads as a refreshing option.
Splash pads are water playgrounds typically with non-slip surfaces, which can be a safer option for children. The water playgrounds have several fountains and nozzles that shoot water but leave little to no standing water.
