Sprayground

The Summer Playground Program is here! Now all we need is summer.

It's 2012 mamas, and we made it through another school year. Summer kind of snuck up on me this year, possibly because it is 63 degrees outside. (I think weather.com is being generous.) It occurred to me last night that allowing the children to stay in their rooms and play Minecraft until they resemble Jell-o is probably not an acceptable plan for the Summer.

Sprayground and Wading Pools, Updated for 2010!

Submitted by on

I know it's super late, but here's the Sprayground/Wading Pool map all updated for 2010.

The Wright Park sprayground is a work in progress, and Franklin's update should take place this year. Hopefully, a new sprayground will open there next fall and there won't be any gap between wading pool removal and sprayground installation as there was at Wright.

South Park and Sprayground (179 Good Days in Tacoma: A Quiet, Shady Park)

Submitted by on

While the weather is warm, we're on a mission to cover all of Tacoma's spray parks and wading pools. Yesterday we spent a few hours at South Park, a surprisingly bucolic spot tucked just a block behind South Tacoma Way, in an industrial area.

McKinley Playfield (186 Good Days in Tacoma)

Submitted by on

McKinley Playfield (which is not McKinley Park)has a brand new sprayground, just opened this week. The official sprayground grand opening celebration takes place at this park today, from 1 to 4 pm. This sprayground is a bit bigger than the one at Jefferson Park, and was quite a bit more crowded when we visited this Tuesday.

Jefferson Park (189 Good Days in Tacoma)

The new sprayground at Jefferson Park is crazy-fun. The fact that the temperature didn't really get up above 75 degrees yesterday, did not deter my 6 year old from spending a solid two hours in the chilly water, laughing, giggling and jumping all the while. I was a little sad to see the wading pool go, but no longer! Anything that can burn that much kid energy for that long without a parent having to hover and worry is awesome in my book.
