Pricing Snapshot
Howard Smith Community Park's spray park is Strafford's free summer splash option for local families. The city describes a sprayground within a broader park that also includes two playground areas, charcoal grills, two pavilions, and a one-third-mile walking track with a large grassy center area. That makes it a solid choice for siblings who want both water play and playground time in one stop. It is best for casual neighborhood visits rather than a destination-scale aquatic outing.
