With local temperatures finally edging up, Bellinghamsters are looking for ways to cool down. Popular spray parks at Cornwall Park and Fairhaven Park will begin operation on June 18, 2011 and remain open through Labor Day. Hours of operation are 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
Leslie Bryson, interim Parks and Recreation Director, said that budget reductions in recent years resulted in City officials shortening the season for operating the spray parks.
don’t need swimming skills to enjoy Bellingham's spray parks, which are intended for toddlers through pre-teen children as a means to beat the summer heat. Kids of all abilities love to splash their way through playful sprays, squirts and mists of water that shoot randomly from below-ground and above-ground apparatus.
