About the Venue

Whitney Commons Spray Grounds is the splash-pad feature inside Whitney Commons, a centrally located community park in Sheridan. Families can pair water play with the adjacent playground, big open turf areas, paved paths, and a pavilion, which makes it a practical stop for mixed-age siblings and casual summer meetups. The spray grounds operate seasonally from around Memorial Day to Labor Day and are weather-dependent, so it works best as a warm-weather drop-in rather than a guaranteed all-season option.
