Seattle-area spray parks are open for the 2026 summer season, offering families plenty of ways to cool off from Everett to SeaTac and across the Eastside.
Many Seattle spray parks opened May 23, 2026 and will remain open through Sept. 7, 2026. Wading pools in Seattle open on a staggered schedule beginning June 27, 2026. You’ll also find fantastic splash pads and water play areas in Bellevue, Redmond, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Kent, Tukwila, Snoqualmie and other communities throughout the region.
Most city-run spray parks operate daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the summer, though schedules vary by location. It’s always a good idea to double-check hours and operating status before heading out.
