Seattle's original spray park is the perpetually packed International Fountain at the Seattle Center. But over the last decade, more and more neighborhood options have sprouted up all over the region. Seattle Parks and Rec is operating 10 spray parks this summer beginning Memorial Day weekend. Check out the official list below.
When you go, bring a change of clothes, towels, sandals with non-slippery soles for the kids, snacks and a book for yourself – it's usually hard to pull the kids away.
