Pricing Snapshot
The Watering Hole is the spray-ground area inside John Venezia Community Park on the north side of Colorado Springs. It is part of a larger destination-style community park with a universally accessible playground, shade shelters, sports areas, trails, reservable pavilions, and nearby restrooms in the same section. For many families, the big draw is not just the water play but the ability to combine it with a playground stop and picnic in one trip. Published operations are seasonal and session-based, with breaks between water-play blocks for safety.
