Spray Pads

Spray pads are unsupervised, free to use water play areas located outdoors in many City parks and playgrounds. They include water features such as upright spray features and ground spray jets. Caregivers are reminded to supervise their child(ren) at all times while visiting the spray pad. Spray pads are seasonal and usually open starting in May and close in September.

Standard hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. All water systems are controlled by a timer set for standard hours of operation. Systems are also equipped with activation sensors limiting operation to real time demand, enhancing water conservation.
