Mahon Spray Park

Mahon Spray Park is a free water play area in North Vancouver's Mahon Park, offering interactive spray features for kids on hot summer days. It's one of the top spray parks on the North Shore and draws families from across North Vancouver during the warm months.

The spray park has ground jets, arching water features, and interactive elements on a rubberized, non-slip surface. It's designed for kids ages 2-12, with gentler features for toddlers and more intense sprays for older kids who want to get thoroughly soaked. The unpredictable spray patterns are what keep kids engaged, running from feature to feature trying to dodge (or catch) the water.

Mahon Park itself is a large community park with sports fields, tennis courts, a playground, and forested walking trails. You can easily turn a spray park visit into a half-day outing by combining it with playground time and a walk through the trails. The park hosts summer concerts and community events, so check the schedule before visiting.

The spray park is seasonal, typically operating from mid-June through Labour Day. North Vancouver is across the Lions Gate Bridge or Second Narrows Bridge from downtown, about a 15-25 minute drive depending on traffic. The Lonsdale area nearby has restaurants and the Lonsdale Quay market. Street parking around Mahon Park is free.
