About the Venue

Blue Heron Bay Spray Park is the splash-focused section of Independence Lake County Park, giving families a more destination-style county park option in the Whitmore Lake area. Washtenaw County officially maintains the spray park under its recreation offerings at Independence Lake. This is a better fit for families who want a bigger park setting around the splash visit rather than a small neighborhood sprayground.
