About the Venue

Ballard Commons Spraypark is one of Seattle Parks and Recreation's official seasonal sprayparks, operating daily in summer. Like the city's other sprayparks, it is self-operating, typically timer-based, and can pause briefly between cycles. Its biggest strength is simplicity: free entry, reliable daily summer hours, and a neighborhood-park setup that works well for quick repeat visits. Families who already know and like Ballard Commons will appreciate this as a practical cool-down option in the city system.
