About the Venue

The Spray Ground at Lake Olathe is one of the more destination-style free splash spots in the broader region. The City of Olathe says it includes three separate spray areas plus outdoor musical instruments nearby for all ages. Because it sits inside Lake Olathe Park, families can combine water play with the park's wider amenities rather than making a single-purpose stop. It is especially appealing for families who want a larger park backdrop with a free splash feature.
