About the Venue

5th St. Spray Park, also listed by the city as part of Old Fairgrounds Playground, is one of Allentown's dedicated public spray parks. Official pages tie it to a nearby playground, which makes it especially useful for younger kids and siblings who want both dry and water play in one stop. A city announcement listed seasonal hours of 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the spray park, though current operations may still vary by weather and maintenance.
