When it comes to outdoor play, it’s hard to beat the Portland Metro Area. We’ve got some amazing parks, and a lot of them activate some sort of water feature during the summer months. This guide is the ULTIMATE list of splash pads, interactive fountains and water features within 25 miles of Portland (spoiler alert: there’s 70 of them!).

The list is divided by area and includes address, hours of operation, if there’s a playground on-site, and a small blurb about each water feature. I’ve also equipped you with an interactive, color-coded map so you can visualize where each park is, and if it features a splash pad, interactive fountain or other type of water feature.

Read on to learn more about the 70 splash pads, interactive fountains and water features in the Portland area, and check out the interactive map below for easy planning.
