The Splash Pad in Hart Park is adjacent to a natural-themed, all-access playground with log balance beams, climbing ropes, and an eagle’s nest. There is a park pavilion nearby for bathroom breaks and changing.
You can also make an afternoon of it by exploring the surrounding park and perusing the charming downtown Wauwatosa area nearby.
