About the Venue

Seneca Lake State Park Sprayground is one of the standout public splash pads in the Finger Lakes, set right on the lake in Geneva. The sprayground features over 100 water jets and sits beside one of the park playgrounds, making it easy to build a longer family outing around water play, picnicking, and shoreline time. Families should plan for a seasonal operating window and a vehicle entry fee during much of the summer. The layout works especially well for mixed-age kids who want active water play without committing to a full pool day.
