I'm looking for a sprinkler or splash park in or around Naperville that is geared toward toddlers. It would be wonderful if it were a park strictly for toddlers, but not necessary. I'm looking for zero depth water play, not a pool. I know the park district has a lot of options, but we moved from an area without a park district, so navigating all of the options is a little intimidating and time consuming (something I already lack enough of)! If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your help!
Pelican Harbor in Bollingbrook, we love it. They have a Parent Tot swim most weekday mornings from 8-11 only for kids under 7 I think, for $6. It is a zero depth pool and there is a splash park.
Well there is the Pelican Harbor, they have a section specifically for toddlers, but it's also a water park so I don't know if you would still want to go. I take our 3 year old there all the time, it's away from the pool's and looks like a playground but with water splashing around. The little one's that go seem to enjoy it alot, including my own! It's right on lily cache lane in Bolingbrook...
There is a little one on Rte 53 & Ogden.
There's a free splash pad called Hobson Corner Splash Pad, in Woodridge. It is about 1/2 a mile east of Rte 53 on Hobson/63rd St.
I've also seen the Ty Warner one in Westmont which is bigger and more interesting looking, but it is not free, and is about another 15 minutes or so past the Hobson Corner one.
There is one in Glenn Ellyn that just opened I think it's called Maryknoll Splash pad and then there is Ty Warner Splash pad, I like that one in Westmont.

I'm yet to take my daughters there but I've heard really good things about this park!!
depending on what part of Naperville you are in - since it's a HUGE place - there is Ty Warner in Westmont.
The Bolingbrook Promenade is fun. It's right in the middle and has hippos for the kids to climb on and lots of water. It's free and stays to mostly smaller kids - under 7.
There are 2 that I know of in Aurora. The phillips park Aquatic center and the Splash country aquatic center both have what your describing. Phillips park has a sprinkler park also outside the main water park that is strictly sprinklers and it is free.
