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 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 Polo Pool Sprayground
Polo Park is a Winston-Salem city park with a playground, picnic shelter, restrooms, grills, three tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a walking trail, plus a 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 easily bored. The sprayground has the following features:
- Two separate water shooters can be activated by stepping on the small blue button in front of the sprayers
- A giant blue and green swirly sprayer
- Multiple water spouts and jets for interacting
- Several water geysers that shoot from ground level
- A fun waterfall structure that smaller kids can sit behind and enjoy
- A swimming pool with a kiddie pool right next door
Operating Hours
The Polo Park Sprayground will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. April – October.
