About the Venue

Ballantrae Community Park Spray Fountains is one of the Columbus area's signature splash-pad stops, set beside the park's well-known Dancing Hares public art and man-made boulders. The space works especially well for mixed-age family outings because it is easy to supervise, free to use, and part of a larger park setting rather than a standalone paid attraction. As of the 2026 season, the spray park remains open daily, though the waterfall and some features are offline while the city plans a larger renovation after the season.
