With temps passing 70 degrees this week, we started wondering when wading pool/spraypark season would start. The city’s list is up – here’s the local dates:

HIGHLAND PARK SPRAYPARK**
May 27-September 4, 11 am-8 pm every day, 1100 SW Cloverdale
(**The city’s website carries the caveat that maintenance work under way now – during the big playground construction project – could push the schedule back.)

LINCOLN PARK WADING POOL
June 24-September 4, 11 am-8 pm every day, near the north play area, 8011 Fauntleroy Way SW

DELRIDGE WADING POOL
June 26-August 20, noon-6:30 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, 4458 Delridge Way SW

SOUTH PARK WADING POOL
June 26-August 17, noon-7 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, 738 S. Sullivan

E.C. HUGHES WADING POOL
June 28-August 18, noon-7 pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, 2805 SW Holden

HIAWATHA WADING POOL
June 28-August 19, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, noon-6:30 pm, Walnut SW/SW Lander

And remember that the city only guarantees wading pools will be open on sunny days with temps 70 and up – you can check the hotline every morning during the season at 206-684-7796.

P.S. Seattle Parks‘ communications team tells us its big mega-announcement of not only wading pools but also swimming pools and beaches will be out soon.
