Season of Operation

The park is typically open Victoria Day weekend through to Labour Day weekend (weather permitting).  However, occasionally the spray park will be closed due to maintenance or repairs, so it is best to check the drop-in schedule for any changes in scheduling. 

Hours

During seasonal operation the park is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. when the temperature is above 20º C. Please note, the park will occasionally be closed for inclement weather including excess wind and during lightning storms. 

About the Spray Park

The Okotoks spray park has been designed as a “Closed Loop” water recycling system. Water from the features is collected, filtered, disinfected and reused. Other than replacing the small amount lost due to evaporation and “splash out” this park recycles all its water. Because the water is in a closed system it is regulated by the same public health rules as a swimming pool. You can enjoy the park guilt and worry free!

How does the closed loop water recycling system work?
