Seattle spray parks are now open and will remain so through September 1, 2025! These family-friendly water features are a great way to cool down on hot summer days across the region.
Wading pools in Seattle opened on a staggered schedule starting June 21, 2025. And don’t forget about the two public outdoor swimming pools in Seattle that also opened for weekends-only on May 10, and fully opened June 16 and 23, 2025.
Parks and Rec plans to operate 11 of its Seattle spray parks in the summer of 2025 and more fantastic spray parks are open outside of Seattle as well.
Most city-run spray parks are open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. unless there’s a chance of thunder and lightning. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check that a spray park is open before heading out.
Check back for additional park openings throughout the summer — especially if you find yourself searching “spray parks near me” on a hot day! Conveniently, spray parks also have a Facebook page for all of the latest updates.
