THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS (March 3, 2016) – The Woodlands Township’s spraygrounds are now open for the 2016 season. The Township has five spraygrounds, also called splash pads, which are open for the season, from March 1 through October 31, 2016 operating 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
Spraygrounds combine the fun of water play for children without the danger of standing water, making them ideal for young families and weak swimmers. All Township spraygrounds utilize sanitized, chemically-treated water that is tested and monitored daily. Residents are asked to respectfully follow all posted rules for their safety.
The spraygrounds at May Valley, Timarron, and Village Green do not require a pool pass or entry fee at any time. They are each conveniently located close to rentable pavilions or seating areas in their respective parks and are extremely popular destinations for birthday parties, play groups, picnics, and other celebrations throughout the season.
The spraygrounds at Sawmill and Shadowbend are located adjacent to Township swimming pools. Outside of pool hours the spraygrounds are free to use and accessible from the park side gates. But during public pool hours the spraygrounds are closed from the park side and become part of the pool complex in order to make for a safer, more enjoyable environment for all involved while the lifeguards are present. As such, pool entry requirements apply to these two spraygrounds during public pool hours.
The Township spraygrounds are located in:
- May Valley Park, in the Village of Sterling Ridge (11598 May Valley Circle)
- Sawmill Park, in the Village of Grogan’s Mill (2200 Millpark Drive)
- Shadowbend Park, in the Village of Cochran’s Crossing (4991 Lake Woodlands Drive)
- Timarron Park, in the Village of Creekside Park (550 North Green Print Circle)
- Village Green Park, in the Village of Creekside Park (26400 Kuykendahl Drive)
