Grab your sunscreen and towels - splash season has begun! Spraygrounds in The Woodlands Township are open to the public March 1 to October 31 and are free to use from 8am-8pm daily. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes, snacks/drinks and a picnic blanket. Water shoes are also great for kids to prevent slipping. My kids also love basic plastic cups or buckets to fill up and splash with.
