    Sure but they also chlorinate the absolute crap out of them so while it’s gross you’re unlikely to actually catch something. The chlorine just destroys your hair and clothing and skin.

      Mostly, cryptosporidium doesn’t give a fuck and it’ll come out of a kids ass.

      The parasite needs to be in heavily chlorinated water for awhile to break through it’s thick membrane.

      Since the water is flying around at splash pads it’s usually going to survive a lot longer than in a pool and even in a regular pool chlorine is not full proof.
