About the Venue

Hayes Park Sprayground is an official Arlington County sprayground open seasonally from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. The practical advantage here is simpler family logistics: on-site restrooms and on-site parking are both listed by the county. It is a good pick for a low-cost splash break without committing to a paid waterpark.
