About
San Jose Park in Georgetown, Texas is a beloved community park anchored by its splash pad — a seasonal water play area that becomes a local family destination during Texas's long hot summers. With 185 reviews at 4.5 stars, it's clearly a well-used and appreciated resource for families in the Georgetown area.
The splash pad is designed for younger children: ground-level jets, water arches, and spray zones that toddlers and kids up to about age 10 navigate with pure delight. Parents find comfortable viewing spots nearby while children run through the water in a setting that feels safe and appropriately scaled. The adjacent playground provides an alternative when the splash pad reaches capacity or when kids want a different kind of play.
The park also includes ball fields and open green space, making it a genuinely flexible family destination. Pack a picnic — there are no food vendors on-site — and plan for a 2-3 hour visit on a summer morning. The splash pad operates seasonally, so check Georgetown Parks for current hours before making the trip.
Open from 5 AM to 10 PM daily, it's accessible for early risers and late afternoon visitors alike.
