Spraygrounds open throughout Atlanta
The wet and fun city has begun in Atlanta.
On Monday, Atlanta’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs opened its four outdoor community Spraygrounds, a fun and popular way for kids to cool down and beat the spring and summer heat without swimming.
The four Spraygrounds are located at: D.H. Stanton, 213 Haygood Ave; Center Hill. 2305 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway; Historic Fourth Ward, 702 Ralph McGill Road; and Perkerson Park, 770 Decker Ave.
All Spraygrounds are free and open to the public from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m.
Atlanta has 12 public pools, which will begin opening on May 25.
