409 Family Master List of Splash Pads & Pools of Southeast Texas

*Updated for the 2024 summer season

Summer in Southeast Texas can be a tricky time for parents – managing a somewhat regular family life routine with the kids now out of school, working to keep them occupied and make fun summer memories, and all while trying to keep everyone cool and hydrated. Thankfully, the 409 Family Summer Directory is ready to help with ideas and options to fit any schedule when it comes to what to do this summer (also see this category listed in our events calendar), but we also thought ahead and have another little jewel of a resource for you. With months of oppressive heat looming ahead of us, splash pads and pools are the godsend you’re looking for too! For those of us who aren’t lucky to have a pool in the backyard, here’s your ultimate summer guide to all the Southeast Texas Splash Pads and Pools!

We apologize that this list is a little light on images. We’re on a mission each summer to try out every single splash pad and pool on this list. Let us know if you’re up for joining in on this adventure too!

Use the interactive map above to plan all your summer splash pad fun!

Click the icon in the top left corner to open the menu and select each park, splash pad, or pool individually for driving directions or more info! See below for more info on each attraction. Note: Paid amenities and attractions are marked on the map with a green $. All free amenities should be marked with a star or swimming icon (depending on type).

Alice Keith Swimming Pool

The original Alice Keith swimming pool was built in the Depression-era as an above-ground masterpiece complete with promenade (check out this photo from the Tyrrell Historical Library of the grand lady in her heyday!), but decay led to its eventual replacement in the late 1990s. The current Alice Keith swimming pool is almost two pools in one, with one side featuring a beach-access style grade and a mushroom spray fountain, while the other side is a more traditional rectangular pool. There are also restroom facilities, a community center, and picnic areas on site. The entrance to the original pool still stands, so make sure you stop and take a photo with a piece of Beaumont history!

NOTE: The City of Bridge City will be opening the Splash Pad soon, anticipating it opening in late May or early June. “The delay is due to performing regular maintenance, getting quotes for resurfacing, and waiting until the new well is operational so that we can ensure that kids can enjoy it every day.”
