A splash pad is provided for receiving water directed from a roof structure down a downspout. The splash pad includes a bottom and a surrounding wall structure. A spillway is provided that permits accumulated water in the splash pad to spillover and be discharged from the splash pad. An aggregate such as riprap can be contained within the splash pad for dissipating the kinetic energy of water discharge by the downspout. In addition, a lip can be provided outwardly of the spillway for dissipating the kinetic energy of the water spilling from the splash pad.
