Escondido's first-ever splash pad, a $2.36 million zero-depth facility slated to open in summer 2026, splits into one section for younger children and another for older kids and includes a rain-like 'sky soaker' feature. Residents voted to give it a 'playful colors' theme, and shade structures with picnic areas surround the pad for supervising parents.
