Waterborne Disease Outbreaks Associated with Splash Pads — United States, 1997–2022
Public health officials and the aquatics sector can use the findings in this report to promote the prevention of splash pad-associated outbreaks (e.g., recommended user behaviors) and guide the construction, operation, and management of splash pads. Public health practitioners and the aquatics sector also can collaborate to voluntarily adopt CDC's Model Aquatic Health Code recommendations to prevent waterborne illness associated with splash pads.
