Kiwanis Spray Park – Dunedin, Fl

This park is filled with 3,000 square feet of aquatic fun, from crocodiles that shoot water from their noses, to fun slides, sprinklers, and buckets of water that fall on your head. And let’s not forget the star of the park—Nessie, Dunedin’s own version of the Loch Ness Monster—who has multiple sprays and an aqua run slide. The whole place has a non-slip surface, is open from 9 a.m. to sunset Mar. - Oct, and the best part? It’s free!
