Northview Park and Splashpad

Northview Park is a half-acre park mini paradise of fun! With an array of playground structures nestled in a lush, grassy area, you’ll find shaded spots and comfy benches all around. Unleash your inner FIFA champ at the soccer field, or splash into summer fun at our Splashpad!

The Splashpad, located within Northview Park at 100 Randolph Plaza Dr, opens for the 2026 season on April 6th, and is open daily thru October. Pavilions are available to reserve year-round.

Daily Splashpad Hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Toddlers will delight in the gentle spray of water jets, families can enjoy dodging the bursts from a towering 23-foot spider, and teens can conquer the thrill of the Superwave! Spanning 4,000 square feet and with 16 exciting water features, there's endless fun for everyone to enjoy.

The features are grouped into three levels: Toddler Bay, Family Bay, and Teen Bay.

Whether you're visiting the splash pad for a sprinkle or a soak, it’s the place to be for summer fun in the Universal City area.
