SPLASH PAD & CHAUNCY BEACH INFO

Splash Pad at Assabet Park

NOW OPEN FOR THE SEASON

The Splash Pad is of one our most popular spots in Northborough for toddlers and preschoolers!  The Splash Pad is adjacent to the toddler playground at Assabet Park. Roughly the same dimensions as a basketball court, it offers several different water features such as bubblers, misters, and geysers to delight everyone from babies to preschool-aged kids.  Since it is on an asphalt surface, we recommend water shoes to protect sensitive toes.  Bring your beach chair and a picnic lunch and enjoy the day while your little ones run and play in the water!  This facility is open to the public for no charge. The Splash Pad will not be open in inclement weather.  Don’t forget the water toys!   

Dates: June 23-Sept. 1

Times: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays:  12-6pm; Saturdays & Sundays:  10am-4pm; Closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays

Location: Assabet Park, Rt 135, Northborough (corner of Gale Road and Route 135)
