This is an absolute lifesaver for those who have wiggly children on hot sunny days and want to stroll the shops.
The shops are the main attraction in Fairhope, but it's not always kid-friendly. We have big families that come to visit, with lots of wiggly little ones. When a family comes in town, and the parents might want to pay a visit to Fairhope ... the grandparents take the kids to the splash pad to have fun for hours. So the parents are free to stroll around at their own leisure. The splash pad is great because you can easily keep an eye on multiple kids at once. This is harder to do on the park side, so if you're a nervous parent make sure you have enough big kids or adults to keep an eye on the younger ones.
If needs be, we can swap off as well. It's been a great system so far. The kids aren't bored out of their minds and the parents have a little alone time. The park is perfectly situated in town a block or two from the main street of restaurants and shops. It's spacious, with shaded picnic areas and a large grassy field to run around or play catch. read more
