Editor's Take

The most flexible family water stop in Grand Forks if you want the option of free splash play or a bigger paid pool day at the same address.

Atlas Perspective

Best Fit

Best For

About the Venue

Elks Pool and Spray Park combines two different summer visit styles in one Grand Forks Park District location: a free public spray park and a paid outdoor pool with a water slide. Families can use the splash area for a no-cost, low-commitment stop or upgrade to a fuller pool outing with concessions, changing support, showers, and lessons. Because it sits in Elks Park, the site also benefits from green space and a playground nearby.
