About the Venue

Kendall-Perkins Park Spray Park is a neighborhood splash stop inside a compact five-acre Owensboro park. The setting is straightforward and practical for local families, with a playground, picnic shelter, picnic tables, basketball courts, and tennis courts all nearby. It works best for shorter summer visits rather than a full destination day. Families looking for a simple free spray park in a community park setting should find it useful and easy to revisit.
