Staff on site

City staff are on site during most, but not all, spray park operating hours. These staff ensure user safety, monitor the park’s water quality, perform maintenance, and provide overall supervision of the site. If you need assistance while at the park, you can easily identify City staff by their blue shirts and/or orange vests. Children under 8 years old must be supervised by a responsible person age 14 or older at all times, even if City staff are on site.

Splash pads

In addition to the spray park, the City also has two, unstaffed splash pads:

• The Central Park splash pad is located near the Lions Log Cabin in Central Park.
• Fuhr Sports Park splash pad is located at the front entrance of Fuhr Sports Park.
