Came here today and it is a nice park. Not as big as I imagined, but big enough. I arrived an hour after the park opened and there were only 4 groups there so we were able to secure a table for lunch. It started to get more busy around 2pm. I love the different spray areas… Some for big kids, some for toddlers, some for all. I came with my 18 month old and she had a blast… Even played on some of the equipment (with supervision of course). The only thing that I do not like about the park is the restroom. It was not well maintained and no changing area for children that require diapers.
All in all, we will come back.

I love this playground/​spray ground its definitely the best spray park I’ve found in the city! All my kids love it here ages 8, 6, 1. I really enjoy it as well, nice to cool down but I don’t have to get soaked running after my one year old. It’s a big spray ground I haven’t been there where it’s been too crowded yet, although I hear it does get crazy there. The water is on till 7 so I also love that. If you have kids its def worth bringing them here, it won’t disappoint. There are also bathrooms, picnic tables, and benches all around the park. Also a great playground area for bigger kids, although they have a littler one as well. The playground is very different from all the ones you see around the city, so that’s an added bonus. Check it out!

This park is well maintained. Great place for kids to run around and get wet, while parents sit I the shade or at a park bench.

So much fun! They have 4 or 5 spray areas, a regular playground, picnic tables and bathrooms. There are some shady grassy spots to hang out in too. Park opens before water turns on at 11am. Oh and it’s free! The only thing missing is a concession stand.

It’s Friday, June 12 and 95 degrees. I came at 11:00. Stayed until 11:30 and the water was never turned on. Tried to have my children use the playground but most of the structures are steel and were too hot to touch.
However, the playground is very cool. Much different from a traditional playground. They have a bunch of things you hold and then balance or spin on (wish I taken photos). A 3 seated sea saw. Theres this crazy, skateboard, half pipe looking structure where the child sits or stands on the seat and the seat moves along the half pipe. This playground is definitely for an older child although they do have the small structure for a walker.
I will be back; Once I figure out when they have the spray ground operating!

Great water park. several different areas for different age groups to play. and the water jets aremail kid high and gentle… sprinklers don’t shoot into the air at high speeds. and there is some shade for the parents to sit with benches. and the park is kept in good shape. nice park.

Can someone please announce when the water will go on and what the hours are for the summer? It is impossible to find out any information for this park online…

I like it that the playground is divided into about 8 uniquely themed small play areas, each of which can accomodate several kids. This brilliant structure encourages spontaneous small-​group cooperation within each area –kids actually «discover» the concept– and offers a lot of variety. Kudos to the designers. Nice basketball court. Playground needs trees/​more shade. (Wish my grown kids would give me grandkids already!)

The sprayground is amazing! My son had so much fun and so did I. There are many different water jets and they come on and off at different times. Who needs a pool pass?
The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is that the shade trees are young, so there isn’t much shade and the playground equipment itself is not suitable for young children (under 6 yrs).
It is open everyday 11am-​7pm through the summer.

Opens at 1 on the weekends. Very disappointing. Why are they discriminating against working parents who want to take advantage of the weekends before afternoon naptime?
