Location: 2528 Repsdorph Rd, Seabrook, TX 77586
Gated pirate ship splash pad in Seabrook — completely different from Baytown's pads: Monroe Field is worth the 12-mile drive specifically because it's unlike anything in the Baytown system.

Webster 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: Texas Avenue Park Splash Pad and most Webster 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 Monroe Field Splash Pad, standard filtration doesn't remove all pathogens instantly.
