Read more about this location

Legion Park Spray Park is part of one of Owensboro’s oldest and most established neighborhood parks. Families can pair splash time with the playground, StoryWalk trail, public restrooms, picnic shelters, basketball court, street soccer court, and paved walking trail. It feels more like a classic local park day than a destination attraction, which makes it especially appealing for repeat warm-weather visits. The overall park is well-rounded, though the splash area itself is still an open public setting rather than an enclosed venue.
