No need to sweat the hot El Paso days. The city’s spray parks will open for the season on Saturday, April 13.

Since opening just a couple of years ago, city spray parks have quickly become a destination place for family picnics and outings, and chances are there's a one near where you live.

There are a total of 8 scattered throughout El Paso, one in each of the City Reps Districts. So pack up some snacks, sunscreen and a few towels, have the kids throw on their swimsuits and swim diapers, and get to splashing.

The historic downtown park also offers a respite from the heat, but on a smaller, less tricked out level. No water buckets and fountains here, just cooling water jets shooting randomly out of the ground. Free to use, and open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. April 13 through late October or early November.
