Sprayground In The City

Its Oooo-ffical summer is upon us and I feel like if we can`t beat the heat we must join it! Yeah you know about the traditional and a wee bit pricey water parks but I bet you never heard of this! A splash pad or sprayground is a wonderful hybrid between a water park and a swimming pool ......playground + water!!!! They are awesome and you can pack up the cooler and make a whole day of it if you want! Bring all the usual summer pool musts; like sun tan lotion, swim suits, and beach towels, oh yeah its the real deal baby! I love to take my son and we have been to a few spraygrounds around Atlanta because its free, he go to playground before or after, and mama can keep her natural dry! They have several locations in the metro Atlanta and other surrounding areas. Did I mention that they are just a few years old?? Here is a list of the hot, I mean cool spots........some I have went to!

• Riverside Splash N Play -$1 (Roswell)
• Spray Station at East Roswell Park -$1 (Roswell)
• Center Hill Park and Sprayground (Atlanta)
• Stanton Park and Splash N Play (Atlanta)
• Perkerson Park Splash Pad (Atlanta)
• Historic Fourth Ward Park and Sprayground (Atlanta)
• Laurel Park Sprayground (Gainesville)
• Spray Pad at Old Atlanta Park -$2 (Suwanee)

There are bunch of other local pools, fountains and aquatic centers near you so let the kids get their water fun on this summer!

                                             This is the restroom at Old Fourth Ward Park, fancy!!!

                                                  Baby bear acting shy at Old Fourth Ward.            

                                                               

                                                         Look at sun shining on my son!

            Mommy and me but check out that flight of stairs behind me and the also have a lake, trails, and other sitting areas around Old 4W.

At Old 4W you do get that urban city feel/view.

 

                  Omg this is not even half of the playground in which its eco friendly and very futuristic, see that turf like ground?  

This is D.H Stanton and it was pretty cool! They have mini mountains, picnic areas, and a huge multi purpose field.

We have also visited Perkerson Park Splash pad last year! Well hope this helps and how do you and your family keep cool in the summer time?
