Beechview Spray Park — Attraction in Pittsburgh

This is always a fun place to take the kids when it is hot out. Easier than a pool, too. I can actually relax a little while they play without the fear of someone drowning. My kids are 9, 7, 4, and 1 and they all love it. The one thing I think could improve it is putting a small gate between the spray pad and the playground.
