Splash Country Water Park is a municipal aquatic facility located on the campus of the Vaughan Athletic Center in Aurora. The park features a two-acre outdoor water playground that includes two two-story water slides and an interactive spray ground. It offers a zero-depth entry pool, which is designed to allow easy access for children and individuals with limited mobility. The facility is equipped with a lazy river for relaxation and dedicated lap lanes for fitness swimmers. Large grassy areas surround the pool deck for picnicking and sunbathing. It serves as a primary summer recreational site for local residents and visitors to the Fox Valley region. The water park is managed by the Fox Valley Park District.
The pedestrian bridge overlooking the lazy river provides a clear view of the slide towers and the main pool area.
