Read more about this location
Colonial Park Spray Park is a substantial outdoor spray park inside Somerset County's Colonial Park, just behind the upgraded Morgan Pellowski Playground. The 6,500-square-foot children's spray area includes 21 water units and sits close to other family draws including paddle boats and miniature golf. This is a strong pick for mixed-age sibling outings because the splash zone can anchor a longer park day rather than a quick stop. Families should expect an outdoor, seasonal setup with supervision required and weather or maintenance closures possible.
