Information regarding large groups using Water Spray Parks

 

      

 

Collierville was the first community in the area to have such water spray parks.  The play areas are designed for children 12 years of age and under to enjoy an aquatic environment without danger of deeper water. Parental supervision is required.

No lifeguard is needed at the water park since there is no water depth.  A central drain moves the water off the area.  The surfaces are lined with a soft, rubber-coated material to make it safe for children.

The Parks Department reserves the right to close the park and change hours as needed for maintenance, special events, or other reasons.
