Are you looking to let your children cool off without going to the pool? Consider one of these Southwest Houston-area Water Spraygrounds, also know as splashpads, water playgrounds, or spray parks.
All of the spraygrounds listed are open to the public, although more are available through local sub-divisions or other places that require membership. If you would like to add to this list, please contact me or leave a comment. And note - the Houston Zoo water playground is closed for summer 2011.
