About Spraygrounds

Spraygrounds are water playgrounds with fixtures and fountains that spray water. They are similar to water play areas, such as those at water parks, 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

Activate the spray features by pressing the button on top of the blue pole on the splash pad during operating hours. This activates a 4-minute spray cycle. If the system is not activating during hours of operation, the system is working to correct the chemical balance. The system may take 30 minutes or more to correct.
