Read more about this location

Pixley Playground Spray Pool is one of Utica's small neighborhood water-play spots. The official city parks page places it at Noyes Street and Mathews Avenue and lists swings, a jungle gym, basketball courts, and a football or soccer field at the same playground. Expect a basic spray-pool experience geared to short local visits rather than a large spray park. It works best for families already spending time in the neighborhood park.
