Set inside a 31-acre park in the University Area, this county sprayground pairs a generously sized spray deck with walking trails and a playground. It is one of eight free spraygrounds Mecklenburg County runs on the same daily summer schedule.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, playground alongside, parking at this location.
