Just in time for a weather forecast of sunny skies and warm temperatures, the Spray Park at Riverside Park is set to open today.
According to the City of Grants Pass, the Spray Park will operate from noon to 7 p.m. daily. The Splash Pad at Morrison Centennial Park will also open today.
The splash pads at both parks have a control button that is pushed by participants to make the sequencer run the features for three-minute intervals.
At Riverside Park, the smaller Kids' Splash Pad has a Flower Shower, Ride & Spray Horse, Ride & Spray Zebra, Water Weave and Pop Dropps. The larger Splash Pad features a 3-Bucket Fill-and-Spill, Mission Hill Showers, Water Fence, Water Arch and several varieties of ground sprayers.
The highlight of the larger pad is the Tidal Barrel, which has a "big splash" effect. The barrel fills up and then spills its contents around the base of the trunk, creating a circular sheet of water with a 16-foot radius.
