What to do if you don't have a pool? That's the big question for many during the dog days of summer. When the days are hot, a backyard pool alternative can provide a lot of relief and even more fun. Any kid who grew up without a pool probably remembers the timeless joy of running through sprinklers on the lawn. But these days, there are plenty of products with which to indulge in backyard fun even with no pool in sight.
That includes all manner of water slides, water blasters, and inflatable pool substitutes perfect for small yards. There are also innovations like reusable water balloons! For more practical adults, there are also basics to beat the heat, like umbrellas equipped with water misting systems, as well as some inflatable mini-pools in which to soak.

Even in a pool, you can't really go body boarding like you would in the ocean. This slide brings the body boarding to your backyard so you can enjoy the ride without sharks, riptides, or seaweed!
A water blaster battle is a great way to blow off some steam and cool down in the process. If you're looking to outfit a group of battlers, look no further than a six-pack of these cannons, each of which has a range of up to 35 feet!
This slide ups the ante by incorporating a kiddie pool, elaborate overhead sprinklers, and even a hairpin turn complete with an inflatable guardrail. Perfect for kids with a need for speed!
Sometimes a classic is the only way to go! These aren't just designed to keep lawns looking fresh. With multiple angles and dynamic motion, this sprinkler creates a whole lot of cool fun from something that seems so, so simple.
