Splash-Pad

A popular park on the north end of Seneca Lake, the deepest of the Finger Lakes, with a large splash pad, playground, marina, and lakefront walking paths. The splash pad is free with park admission and keeps younger kids entertained for hours. The marina offers boat rentals and the lakefront is great for fishing. Picnic pavilions and a concession stand make it easy to spend a full day. The park hosts family events throughout the summer. It is right next to downtown Geneva for ice cream and shopping.

A 525-acre gem along the South San Gabriel River with well-marked trails ranging from flat strolls to more challenging inclines through classic Hill Country terrain. Catch-and-release fishing ponds give kids a patient and rewarding activity that does not require any experience. A splash pad and modern playground anchor the central area for younger children and the expansive picnic grounds under old trees make this an ideal all-day outing. The on-site dog park is a bonus for families bringing four-legged members along.
