About the Venue

Washington Park Spray Play is Eugene's city-operated summer splash spot at Washington Park in the Friendly Area. The spray area replaced the park's former wading pool and sits within a larger neighborhood park that also includes a play area, picnic tables, sports courts, and restrooms. It works especially well for families who want a simple, free splash outing that can easily pair with playground time. Expect an open-access park setting rather than a fenced or staffed water-play venue.
