Water Play
This summer we have a great new addition to our playground system. It is a "Spray Park". Located on Troy Hill on the North Side, this is a must for any age child. The 3,600-square-foot facility offers an exciting world of unpredictable sprayers, oversized water cannons and other above and below ground water features. From the tiniest toddler to a pre-teen adventurer, and even those using wheelchairs, children of all ages and abilities enter with equal enthusiasm. Movement sensors cause sprayers to magically turn on and off in this three-dimensional world of water. Watching the children brings back memories of my youth- running through sprinklers- but this has much more fun, color and movement.
If you can't get to the North Side, there are some other great water experiences for children. Try the floor fountains at PPG Plaza or South Side Works or the water steps on the North Shore by the stadiums. All are great ways to keep your kids cool for the summer.
