About Spraygrounds
Spraygrounds are water playgrounds with fixtures and fountains that spray water. They are similar to water play areas, such as those at Kimberley Park and Bolton pools, with a significant difference: Spraygrounds are not set in standing water, making them safer for children. A popular alternative to swimming pools, spraygrounds are free, do not need a staff and save resources by recirculating and filtering the water.
How to Use a Sprayground
Push the button, mounted on a bollard at the edge of the sprayground, to activate the water for 15 minutes. If nobody pushes the button again within 15 minutes, the water will stop.
About Hathaway Park Sprayground
Hathaway Park is a Winston-Salem city park with playground, picnic shelter, restrooms, grills, water fountain and now a brand new sprayground. This small park’s sprayground is the perfect size for 15-20 children to enjoy comfortably. The structures are ideally suited for children under 10 because older/taller kids may become bored quite quickly. The sprayground has the following features:
- Two separate water shooters that can be activated by stepping on the small blue button in front of the sprayers
- A giant red swirly water sprayer
- Multiple water wheels for interacting
- Several water geysers that shoot from ground level
- A fun waterfall structure that smaller kids can sit behind and enjoy
Operating Hours
The Hathaway Park Sprayground will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. April – October.
