The spray ground has no lifeguard, so the city asks parents to supervise; touch the top of the pole near the entrance to start it. The city's spraygrounds page gives its 2026 season as April 25 to October 4, daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., so it is past its season until the city posts next year's dates. Boat rentals at the marina ran May 9 to September 7 in 2026. Fishing is free, and anyone 16 or older needs a Kentucky fishing license.
Opening hours, admission, accessibility, and booking requirements can vary. Confirm the details that matter to your visit directly with the venue.
