Ahoy, mateys! Families looking for a free place to cool off in Indianapolis will love the pirate-themed splash pad at Carson Park. Officially named the Robert “Bob” Cockrum Spray Grounds, this colorful water-play area turns an ordinary summer afternoon into a miniature high-seas adventure.
Pirate Ship Splash Pad at Carson Park
The splash pad features a playful ocean theme with a pirate ship, friendly dolphins, sea creatures, water cannons, ground-level fountains, and above-ground sprayers. Kids can race through the streams, aim the water cannons at their siblings, and pretend they are sailing in search of hidden treasure. Because the water features offer different spray patterns and levels of intensity, both younger children and bigger kids can find a way to join the fun.
The spray grounds are located on a large concrete surface, so families should bring water shoes or other footwear with good traction. Pack swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, drinks, and dry clothes for the ride home. There is shaded seating around the splash pad, although parents sitting close to the action should expect to get splashed too.
Carson Park is located on the southwest side of Indianapolis in Decatur Township. The nearly 25-acre park also offers a playground, basketball court, softball fields, picnic shelters, concession stands, and a partially wooded walking trail, making it easy to extend your visit beyond the splash pad. Admission to Carson Park is free.
Carson Park is located at 5400 South High School Road, Indianapolis. Splash pad operations may be affected by maintenance, weather, or seasonal schedules, so families should check with Indy Parks before visiting.
