Pricing Snapshot
Wankel Playground Spray Pool is one of the City of Utica's neighborhood spray-pool locations. The city's official parks listing places it at Rugby Road and Gilmore Place and confirms additional playground amenities and baseball fields at the same park. Families should expect a smaller neighborhood water-play setup rather than a destination spray park, but it works well for quick local visits and mixed play between the spray area and playground. Citywide splash-pad postings indicate Utica splash pads generally run on seasonal summer schedules.
