Not ready to take the plunge into a body of water? Saratoga Springs has four interactive fountain parks which provide a free spot for kids to cool down, a playground and benches and/or picnic tables. For a lot less commitment than going to a pool or beach, you can still keep your kids cool. The four parks are:
- Geyser Park, off of Geyser Road (shown in picture)
- West Side Rec. on the corner of Division Street and Beekman Street
- East Side Rec. on Lake Ave and Caroline Street
- South Side Rec. located at 15 Vanderbilt Ave.
My personal favorite is West Side Rec or Beekman Street Playground as I like to call it. It has lots of shade, a nice playground, a large fenced-in play area and of course, a fountain to cool off. Least favorite: Geyser Park. The playground is way too small and there is very little shade and not enough benches. However if it's a fountain you need, and that's all, Geyser Park delivers. Plus there are bathrooms very close by.
