The Okotoks spray park is ready to keep children cool this summer.

On Wednesday the spray park officially opened for the season at the Okotoks Recreation Centre.

Operation of the spray park is weather dependent with hours ranging from 10a.m.- 7 p.m., seven days a week, as long as the temperature is above 20 degrees.

It's scheduled to close the third week of August so construction on improvements can begin.

The spray park will have new water features and a public washroom ready to go for next summer.
