About the Venue

Crossroads Water Spray Playground is one of the most destination-worthy public splash pads in the Seattle metro for families who want more than a quick cool-down stop. The spray area uses water-themed features like spitting frogs, spouting orcas, and squirting clams, with no standing water and a design intended to work for a wide range of physical abilities. Because it sits inside larger Crossroads Park, families can pair splash time with playgrounds, picnic shelters, walking paths, a community center, and plenty of open space. It is especially strong for mixed-age siblings and repeat summer visits when you want a free, easy plan with bathrooms and parking already handled.
