Read more about this location
Driskell Pool & Spray Park is Albany's city-operated warm-weather water-play spot combining a recreational pool with a spray pad. It works well for families who want a free municipal option without full waterpark pricing, especially for mixed-age groups splitting time between splash features and pool time. The facility is part of the city's recreation system and requires a membership application before visiting. Expect a straightforward community-aquatics setup rather than a large destination-style spray park.
