Looking for a way to cool off in the summer? Look no further than Ray Ross Park! Designed to look like a baseball diamond, this splash pad offers interactive water features suitable for kids of all ages.
Weather permitting, the spray park is open each summer from late-May through Labor Day. Important: Do not block or fill drains or remove water from the splash pad. This causes overheating and may result in closure.
Park shelters
Important: Shelters are NOT available for rentals or exclusive use. Do not block off shelters for private parties.
A new park shelter was built in summer 2020, now giving the park two shelters.
Both shelters are located on the west side of the park, next to the playground and splash pad. The first shelter has eight tables and two grills, the second shelter (built in 2020) has six tables and three grills. These shelters are not available for exclusive use (not rentable) and are open to the public during park hours.
Permanent restrooms are located by the concession and ball fields on the east side of the parking lot and are open approximately April 15 to October 15, weather permitting. Port-a-lets are located near the shelters and playground.
