O'Connor Park Spray Pool is listed by the City of Utica as a neighborhood spray-pool park at Mohawk Street and Arthur Street. Official park details also note a jungle gym, swings, and football or soccer field space, making it a basic multi-use stop for nearby families. This is the kind of municipal spray feature that works best for casual drop-ins and quick cool-downs rather than all-day destination trips. City splash-pad postings suggest the usual seasonal summer operating pattern.
