About the Venue

Castlewood Aquatic Center & Sprayground is one of Lexington’s public summer aquatics destinations, pairing a sprayground with a staffed aquatic center inside Castlewood Park. It works well for families who want more than a quick splash stop and prefer a visit with pool infrastructure, bathhouse access, and other park amenities nearby. Because it is part of Lexington’s aquatics system, hours and operations can shift seasonally and with maintenance or weather.
