As of Wednesday, May 4th, 2022, the Niceville Children’s Spray Park is now open for the season.

  • New hours of operation are in place for the park.
  • The park is open Wednesday-Saturday from 10:00am – 5:00pm, Sunday from 12:00-5:00pm.
  • The park is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Park features

The Spray Park opened in the summer of 2006 and quickly became a popular place for children to have a great time cooling off during the hot days and warm evenings.

  • The Spray Park has two palm trees: one that sprays water from the leaves, and one that has coconuts that fill up and drop water frequently, soaking those below.
  • A Blue Heron will surprise children by soaking them as they walk by.
  • Magic Mushrooms spray water all around and make a tent for the children to hide under while watching others play.

“The children have a great time cooling off during the hot days and warm evenings, and comfortable tables, chairs, and umbrellas are available for the adults to relax and enjoy watching the children play,” said the City of Niceville.

Park closures

The City of Niceville will close the Children’s Park whenever the safety of park visitors is in question. The park attendant may close the park at their discretion due to weather conditions. For example, the park will close when:

  • The heat index exceeds 95°F
  • The wind chill drops below 40°F
  • It begins to rain (It takes approximately two hours for the park to dry sufficiently and reopen following rainfall)
  • Lightning is spotted in the area
