Paulus Park Sprayground is a popular seasonal water play area located within Paulus Park in Lake Zurich, Illinois. Designed for children and families, it features various interactive water elements such as spray jets, dumping buckets, and other splash features, providing a fun and refreshing experience during warmer months. It's a zero-depth entry facility, making it accessible for all ages.
As a sprayground or splash pad, Paulus Park Sprayground does not contain traditional heated pools with regulated temperatures. The water is typically unheated, similar to tap water, and specific temperature information is not generally provided or maintained as it's not a swimming pool facility.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews indicate that the splash or spray pad facility is currently closed for construction, with re-opening not expected until 2026 (and was also closed in 2025), which has caused disappointment for visitors. Despite this, other amenities such as a small beach on Lake Zurich and shaded picnic areas are positively reviewed for being pleasant and not overly crowded, especially on weekends, with summer closing at 7 PM. There's also mention of specific events like a jack o'lantern display, noted as being primarily suitable for children.
Reviews
It would be awesome if it showed this was shut down until 2026 so I didn’t waste my energy getting my baby in swim wear and sunscreen and walking in 90 degree weather from the parking lot to the splash pad that doesn’t exist right now.
Enjoyed it last year but not open this year (2025) due to construction
Spray park isn't working until 2026, they said they would be getting a new one.
Nice place with a small beach on lake Zurich and shaded picknic areas. Doesn’t get too crowded on the weekends. It closes at 7pm on summertime. I would recommend to visit.
