About Shepard Recreation Center
If you're in Philadelphia and looking for a splash pad, the Shepard Recreation Center is a pretty solid choice. It's a public pool, run by the city. It's got a 4.2-star rating from 343 reviews on Google, which tells me most people like what they find there. They're open every day of the week, 1 PM to 8 PM, so you've got lots of chances to get in the water, which is good when you're dealing with a city as big as Philadelphia (over 1.6 million people). From my perspective, a public pool with consistent hours like that is a real plus for the community. You can call them at (215) 685-1992 if you have questions, or check out the city's website if you want to dig deeper.
