Southside Lions Spray Pool is a free city-run summer splash option in a central Missoula neighborhood park. Families can combine the spray pool with a playground, picnic shelter, and open park space, making it a convenient stop for quick outings or informal meetups. Like Sacajawea's spray pool, it is tied to warm weather and uses a push-button activation system when temperatures are above 75 degrees.
