Pass Field summers in Beaumont run dry and hot, and the wind that keeps the windmills spinning out past the freeway doesn't do much to cool a kid down. We rounded up the splash pads within a short drive, starting with the one right in town that actually runs all year.

How we picked these
We only listed splash pads that are free, public, and open to anyone who shows up, no resident-only pools or gated HOA amenities. We checked for shade, restrooms, and real operating hours rather than trusting a park's homepage photo. Everything here is pulled from city parks pages and firsthand notes, not paid placements.
Planning your visit
Most splash pads in this stretch of the Inland Empire run Memorial Day through Labor Day, though Beaumont's own Stewart Park stays open year-round. Go early on weekdays if you want to skip the crowd, and bring water shoes since the pad surfaces heat up fast in the sun. A couple of these only run water on weekends, so double check hours before you drive out.

Beaumont Splash Pad Checklist
- Two towels and a dry change of clothes per kid: wet swimsuits on a hot car seat are miserable.
- Water shoes: rubber soles grip wet concrete; bare feet burn on pavement between jets.
- SPF 50+ sunscreen, applied 15 min before arrival: Stewart Park Splash Pad and most Beaumont splash pads have minimal shade, so a portable canopy extends your session past midday.
- Your own water bottle: splash pad water recirculates through a filtration and chlorination system and is not safe to drink, even when it runs clear.
Swim Diapers and Water Hygiene
- Swim diapers only for children not yet potty trained, regular diapers absorb recirculating water, swell, and can contaminate the shared system. Most municipal splash pads require them.
- Don't swallow the water: it's treated recreational water, not drinking water. Repeated swallowing can cause gastrointestinal illness.
- Rinse off after with soap and water. Keep kids with open wounds or a recent stomach illness out of places like Yucaipa Regional Park Water Slides, standard filtration doesn't remove all pathogens instantly.
