Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.
We list 4 splash pads within 36 miles of Sacramento, CA. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.

None of the places on this page publish a price, so call ahead before you rely on a figure from anywhere else.
No. They are free and open in season; check the operating dates, which are short. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
Swimwear, a towel, a change of clothes and water shoes. The surface gets hot. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
