      Hi Jill, thanks again for all you do for those searching for play options in Houston and surrounding areas. I love the summer site but when I click on the splash pad site it goes straight to the water parks site. Splash pads are so special here in Houston for that under ,4 age groups or for those caregivers that aren't allowed venturing to pools with their littles. I know there might still be some restrictions on splash pads opening (covid) but I would like to find a list so I'm ready when they are. Thanks again. Christine
