Sacajawea Spray Pool, also called the Turtle Pool on the official facility page, is one of Missoula's classic low-frills summer spray spots. It pairs simple splash play with a playground and picnic tables, making it a good fit for families who want a free neighborhood outing rather than a larger aquatic complex. The pool runs only when outdoor temperatures are above 75 degrees and is user-activated by a button on site, so it is best for genuinely warm days.
