About

Free park featuring splash pads and spray grounds as well as walking trails.

As a sprayground, Riverside Park Sprayground utilizes fresh, unheated municipal water rather than a traditional recirculated pool system. Therefore, there are no specific 'pool temperatures' to report; the water temperature will be ambient, reflecting the temperature of the city's water supply.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This park is widely praised as a free, family-friendly destination that is a 'hidden treasure' and worth the drive, offering fun for kids of all ages with both wet spray pads and dry play options. Amenities like basketball courts, restrooms, benches, and shady areas are appreciated. However, a major recurring complaint is the unreliability of the spray ground, which is frequently found closed or not functioning, often contradicting online messaging, leading to significant disappointment on hot days. Other minor feedback includes a wish for earlier opening hours and a note about the concrete floor.

97 degrees in August and not spraying. No water to be going anywhere. Took the kids to cool off on a hot summer day. Not functioning at all. They were disappointed. I was roasting. It was pretty miserable.

The spray ground was still closed. This didn't match online messaging. And one of the water features was blocked of entirely. 3 stars though because it's still a great park outside of the spray ground.

Hands down the best place for family fun!! My kids are 8,7,4&1 and LOVE it. Love the basketball court near it. The dry park option AND the wet spray pad! Fun for all. Pack a lunch and hang out. Bathrooms to change in and some benches but shady trees is where we normally hang!
