Last Friday Anabelle and I decided to beat the heat by going to Centennial Beach, located along the riverwalk in Naperville. We got a pass this year and sadly it has gone severely underused, we had a great time and it really made me realize we need to go more. It is run by the park district and was recently upgraded this year with new changing rooms, and bathrooms. They added family changing rooms which are wonderful. The "beach" itself has a huge sand play area, a row of bubbling fountains and waterfalls, and then a sand bottom gradual decrease swim area. It also has a huge water slide and lots of deep water swimming available for older kids (which is nice because it keeps them out of the shallow areas). Anabelle had a great time playing in the sand, fountains, and sitting in the shallow areas of the water. She was happy to be able to run around splashing and playing. We will definitely be going back soon!
They have these cute little Adirondack chairs for kids to sit in.
Playing in the sand.
They have a huge blue mat to keep little ones from slipping as they enter the water. Anabelle liked to sit on it and pour water with her bucket.
View of the whole swim area, it is huge!
Fun Friday with my water baby!
