In addition to pools, residents can also cool down at the District’s free spray parks. Spray Parks are small outdoor parks equipped with kid-friendly fountains that are perfect for splashing around and escaping the summer heat. There is at least one spray park in every ward of the District. To find the spray park closest to you, visit https://dpr.dc.gov/page/spray-parks.

All spray parks are open from 10 am to 8 pm daily through Labor Day, Monday, September 3, 2018.

For information about staying safe during the heat, go to heat.dc.gov or call the Mayor’s Citywide Call Center by dialing 311. Residents can register to receive Heat Emergency alerts on their devices at alertdc.dc.gov.
