Love taking the kiddos here on hot day!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with toddlers and young children on warm summer days. The shallow, ground-level spray format is safe for non-swimmers and babies in arms. Free admission means it works as a spontaneous stop. The sensory activation button (bare feet only) is worth explaining to kids before arrival.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Kids need bare feet to activate the splash pad button — shoes or sandals won't trigger the sensor.

⏰Bring towels and a change of clothes; there are no changing facilities on the pad itself.

🎟️The pad is open through Labor Day — check the city's Parks and Recreation page for exact seasonal dates each year.

🚗Round Lake Park is close to Eden Prairie Community Center if you want to combine activities.

Overview

Round Lake Splash Pad is one of three city-run splash pads in Eden Prairie, located inside Round Lake Park on Valley View Road. Entry is free. The pad is activated by pressing a button on the back of a red megaphone-shaped apparatus at the center — the sensor requires direct skin contact, so bare feet are needed to trigger it. An automatic timer controls how long the sprays run; pressing the button again restarts the cycle.
