Beat the Heat at Fountains at Roseville

When summer officially hits its stride in Roseville, the hunt for shade and ways to cool down is on. The center’s bustling splash pad becomes a magnet for little ones, and pairs perfectly with the inevitable craving for something sweet, icy, and refreshing. Luckily, escaping the heat doesn't mean skipping your afternoon out. Fountains at Roseville may be an open air center, but there are plenty of ways to keep cool. 

Cool Off at the Splash Pad 

The free splash pad is a summer staple for local families, offering a built-in way for kids to stay active while beating the heat. With the playground right next door, it’s easy to turn a quick outing into a full morning of fun. For a seamless day out, hit the playground early before the temperature spikes, cool down in the water, and wrap things up with a cold treat before heading home. 

When a Cold Treat Sounds Good

What sounds better on a hot day than ice cream? Salt & Straw has become known for its creative flavors and seasonal offerings, making it a fun place to try something outside your usual order. Whether you're stopping by after the splash pad or simply looking for a cold treat, there's usually something new worth trying.

If gelato is more your style, Miabella is your go-to. The rotating flavor selection keeps things interesting, and the smooth, rich texture gives it a different feel than a traditional scoop of ice cream.

For something that isn’t dessert, Pressed offers juices, smoothies, freezes, and açaí bowls. Whether you're looking for something fruity, frozen, or a little more filling, it gives you another option when a traditional dessert isn't what you're after.

Summer days have a way of pulling people outside even when the thermostat says otherwise.
