The water spray park has 12 "stations" in a total area slightly larger than the size of a basketball court. There are two "touchstone" poles that activate the spray stations, which resemble elephants, rainbows and other items. The water sprays for a set amount of time until the poles are touched again. An overall park timing system shuts the water off at night.
Collierville is the only city in the area to have such water spray parks. "They are just like a regular playground structure but instead of sliding down a slide, children play in water," said Collierville Parks Director Greg Clark. "It's a new concept. It's been very popular across the country."
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.
Park hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a week.
