White Rock Neighborhood Splash Park with Water Slides

The Best $1.00 Outing Around!

This is the perfect place to go when your kids need to get drenched and you want a cheap outing with the WOW factor!

White Rock Neighborhood Splash Park has an incredible play structure with large dump buckets, canons, water jets…and WATER SLIDES!

This park is SO worth our 30 minute drive to me! Last week I wanted my kids to cool off and have a an exciting outdoor outing without spending much. White Rock splash park fit the bill. This was the first time we had been there since they started charging a $1.00 slide entry fee. I made sure to bring cash and as soon as we entered the park gate, I was able to purchase water slide wristbands for each of the kids from the friendly attendant. Anyone that is not using the slides or does not meet the height requirement is not required to purchase a wristband and can enjoy other splash park areas for FREE.

Here are their height requirements for the slides (as outlined by OSHA regulations):

Small Orange Slide: Rider must be at least 42″ or 3ft 6in

Larger Yellow Slide: Rider must be at least 46″ or 3ft 10in

Two lifeguards supervise the water slides at all times for safety. They make sure kids go down one at a time, which is much appreciated by both kids and parents!

Tips

There are a couple of shaded picnic benches but since they are usually taken, I recommend bringing an umbrella. The grassy area is a good place to picnic and close enough to watch your kids as they play, it just doesn’t have any shade trees.

Check your kids’ heights before you get them all excited about the slides, as the staff member at the gate will measure and is firm on the requirements.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
