Sprayground

Definitely one of the most popular Weasel Brook Park features is the sprayground. On a hot day, like the day we visited, it’s a great way to cool off.

This too is an area that looks like it underwent some changes since 2016. Gone are the colorful arches. Instead, there are multiple fountains that spray and mist water when activated. The ground surface in this area is pavement.

The sprayground is located between the playground and the restroom building.

Are there walking trails?

There is a walking path around the park and along the brook that winds through woods and grassy areas. It seems like a great place to take a nature walk even though it is in a residential area.
