Wheeler Spray Park — Attraction in Linden

A really fabulous spray park. The sprinklers and slides are exciting. I went with a few kids of different ages (infant, toddler and teenager) and there was enough for everyone to enjoy. There is a small dry playground for kids to play while drying off. A lot of space to sit. Very nice layout allowing a lot of access to the spray ground while watching the kids and walking around. Three important notes: There is not enough parking so prepare to park on the street. Some employees park on the grass but if a visitor parks there they will call the cops and tow/ ticket. They have a very limited capacity. It makes the experience better (since it won’t get overcrowded) but it means that if you arrive after it’s full you will have to WAIT UNTIL ANOTHER GROUP LEAVES. This could be any amount of time. We waited about 15 minutes but within the hour after we got in the line had tripled in length. It was hot with nowhere to sit while waiting. I’m assuming Sundays are extra crowded (we went on a Sunday) but I think this is generally an important detail to keep in mind. Try to get there when they open or prepare for a long wait, help prepare your kids to have patience and bring snacks or activities to do while waiting. There is little to no shade. Bring chairs or blankets and umbrellas because it gets very sunny. Despite all this we had a wonderful time and like I said, limiting the capacity means that once you’re inside it’s a very pleasant experience with a nice staff to guest ratio and not too much overcrowding. Oh, they also don’t allow balls or glass, but they do provide a room to put them so if you forget you don’t have to go back to the car and lose your spot to get in, but I would just avoid bringing those. It’s a gated off spray park so there isn’t really any space or use...

The people that run this park don't have feelings or a heart. My son has autisim (non verbal). Him and his mom got there and was already waiting 40 min. On the line. The people should know that children with autism get very impatient. So I asked them if he can fast track the line because he started crying and was beating himself up, punching his head and leg. The park told me no because its not fair for the people waiting. And they said take him home. Autistic children would not understand that. So they would let a child with autisim wait in line for 2 hours crying and hitting himself because it's not fair for the people. They're are supposed to let children with a disability fast track. If its just one child and his mom. I can see them saying no if it was a whole family. My son is going to have bruises all over his body because they wouldn't just let him in. I believe this is against the law. If I knew I can buy the tickets online the day before I would have done it. But the way my son works is that he asked that day and we were proud of him he was able to ask. I can buy the tickets the day before, but what if he doesn't want to...

I love this park it’s a very nice park with lots of slides and water but my only down fell is that the first time I came here I took my daughter their was an older child over the age of 12 that was bullying the little kids and pushing them and hurting them my daughter arms where so black and blue from this girl pushing her into the the railings where the slides were and my daughter and i both told the life guards How she was bullying the little kids and they did nothing about it and of course you couldn’t find the parent to talk to them and tell them what her daughter was doing to these kids so it was the first and last time I take her their until you have to pay I’m not going to go their and let my kid get hurt by these older kids it says no one over the age of 12 that’s bull because they let them in and it’s a shame because she had such a good time but it’s not worth it if she’s going to get bullied and the life guards don’t do nothing about it’s their job to keep the kids save and they were not...
