Sprayparks
Open daily, May 23 to September 7, 2026 (Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day)
12 Seattle parks have water spray features where you and the kids can cool off, which operate daily from Memorial Day Weekend until Labor Day.
Sprayparks are self-operating, with most on a timer. They are occasionally "quiet" for a few minutes to reset themselves. Their operation is subject to change (due to weather or damage to the facilities).
These sprayparks will be open from 11 am to 8 pm each day of the week, unless thunder or lightning are present:
- Ballard Commons
- Spray feature shut off on August 11 and August 25, 2026 to accommodate Dancing Til Dusk.
- Beacon Mountain in Jefferson Park
- Georgetown Playfield
- Highland Park
- John C. Little Park
- Judkins Park (Lower)
- Lake Union Park
- Miller Community Center
- Northacres Park
- Pratt Park
- South Park Playground
- Yesler Terrace Park
*Spraypark and wading pool schedules are subject to change (due to weather or damage to the facilities).
Wading Pools Save Water!
As an element of the City's water conservation effort, we're encouraging people to use public wading pools and sprayparks rather than fill their home "kiddy pools" or run backyard sprinklers.
Hours, Weather, and Closures
We will plan to open the wading pools on sunny days when the temperature is forecast to be 70 degrees or higher. On most days we will fill them half full, which is a 50% water savings but on the busiest days they will be filled to the top!
Parks uses the average of temperature forecasts from eight weather websites to determine whether to close. When that average temperature is forecast to be below 70 degrees, Parks makes the decision not to open the wading pools or sprayparks.
Our wading pool hotline, (206) 684-7796, is updated every morning by 9:30 a.m. If the weather looks iffy, it’s the best way to find out if the wading pools and sprayparks are open for the day or not.
Rules
- Children under 13 years old must be supervised by a responsible adult.

- No spots - people with communicable diseases are not allowed in the pool.
