Ray Ross Park and Splash Pad

It’s one, two, three strikes and you are out at the old ballpark! Ray Ross Park is home to year-round sports fields and basketball courts, a free baseball-themed splash pad, a playground and two park shelters with grills. 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. Important: Do not block or fill drains or remove water from the splash pad. This causes overheating and may result in closure.
