Visit any of the four Watermelon Swim Pumpkin Patches from Oct. 4 to Oct. 31 to pick out the perfect pumpkin and support your community while getting in the fall spirit, because a portion of all proceeds helps to fund scholarships in our Children with Disabilities Program.

Purchase a pumpkin during the month of October and help ensure that Tampa Bay children with both physical and mental disabilities have access to the swimming, safety and survival skills they need to develop a love of the water.

Our Lutz and South Tampa locations feature large outdoor patches while Riverview and Wesley Chapel have a smaller indoor setup. All locations will feature Instagram-worthy photo-ops, so grab your matching family flannels and come get in the f all spirit. Admission is FREE and open to the public from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. all month long.
