Good news! The eight spraygrounds in Tacoma - Kandle Park, Norpoint Park, Wright Park, South Park, McKinley Playfield, Wapato Hills Park, Jefferson Park and new destinations Titlow Park and Franklin Park - will be open daily beginning Saturday. As a result of the 2005 Park Improvement Bond, the old wading pools in Tacoma parks have been replaced with spraygrounds - wet playgrounds that shoot water in the air that doesn't accumulate for safety. Besides, the spraygrounds are an opportunity for us all to observe a micro-sized petri dish of American life as it pulses and spurts and knocks out our contact lens.
SPRAYGROUNDS, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily May 25-Sept. 3, free, metroparkstacoma.org for information
