Piscataway Getting Massive New Water Spray Park This Summer

PISCATAWAY, NJ — Piscataway just keeps getting better and better! Not only was the town voted one of the best places to live in New Jersey, but now a massive new spray park is scheduled to open in Piscataway this summer. The water park will bring cool relief and summer fun to the thousands of kids who live in the area.

The outdoor Piscataway Spray Park will be located next to the new Piscataway Community Center, which is currently under construction. Both are slated to open in summer 2020. The community center will be located at 520 Hoes Lane in Piscataway.

The spray park will be part of the Piscataway Community Center. Piscataway Township just named the YMCA of Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge & South Amboy as the management company and they will set up membership options for residents and non-residents.

The large, pirate-themed spray park will have two open flume water slides, two spray cannons, a deck geyser and a large supersplash bucket connected to a ship’s bow surrounded by hose sprayers and arches. Adjacent to the splashpad of the park will be covered table seating for families to enjoy the outdoors.

The spray park will be in the northwest corner of the Community Center lot. There will also be three pools inside the Community Center.

“We are thrilled to add more family fun in Piscataway,” Mayor Brian C. Wahler said. “We are confident that every good weather day will bring many young children and their parents to this wonderful spray park.”

In addition to the indoor and outdoor water amenities, the Community Center will also have a full-size basketball court with overhead running track, large fitness center, dance and art studios, a teen lounge, and men’s, women’s and family locker rooms.

There will be a groundbreaking for the spray park this Saturday, Nov. 9.

While the Spray Park has long been considered Phase II of the Community Center project, breaking ground on it was not expected to happen until further down the calendar. However, with construction of the Community Center moving ahead of schedule and with funds available, Township officials decided to move forward with the Spray Park so it could open by this summer.
