Get your splash on
On a hot summer day, kids just want to play in the water. And that’s what free public spray parks and splash pads are all about! Get ready to get your splash on at these awesome spots, from Seattle to the Eastside and North Sound.
If you’re farther south, be sure to check out our guide to South Sound Spray parks and splash pads.
Tip for families: We recommend double-checking the operating hours of a spray park on its website; there are occasional closures for cooler weather or other reasons.
