Local parks or other facilities that develop and maintain interactive aquatic play areas for children where water may shoot from fountains, jets, falls, hoses, pull spouts, water guns or through water curtains and then drain away before it can accumulate. Spray grounds are constructed with water features that children can run through, jump into or just sit and enjoy as a way of cooling off during the summertime heat. Some parks have multiple play areas for different age groups, e.g., misting and low spray play areas for toddlers and preschool-age children and rain shower, cascades and other, more high-powered water features for older children. Spray grounds may be an alternative to a community pool in some areas or an added feature of a park's pool area in others.
