Somerset Spray Park
Typically follows the city of Calgary schedule – mid-june-labour day 9am-9pm. Has reopened for the 2022 season with a brand new spray park.
The spray park is run by the Somerset Community Association but the land is owned by the City of Calgary and so is open for public use.
Features: Multiple spray park features including a big dump bucket. Washrooms are open seasonally.
Stroller/wheelchair access: Fully accessible spray area
Seating: there are four benches set a bit back from the spray park so you won’t get wet while you watch. There is also some room to set up a spot with a blanket.
Overall assessment: This is a nice sized spray park with a lot of different spray features. There is a big dump bucket in the centre that smaller kids may want to stay away from.
There are tons of smaller sprays along the edges though so there is a ton of fun for everyone. The ‘water guns’ were a big hit with my kids but even my oldest ended up soaked so make sure your kids bring a change of clothes even if they aren’t planning on going into the water.
A great spray park, just one complaint – the surface in the spray area is asphalt – as the water erodes it, it leaves the small stones exposed which are not very foot-friendly. Should have splurged for cement!
Took my kids to this park tonight. I really liked it except it is not very clean.. there was garbage and bottles in the splash pad area and junk in the playground too. The bathrooms were pretty gross too. The splash pad had tons of rocks that were not safe for little feet.
Please build a skatepark.
