Looking for some sunshine and splash time in St. Charles Parish? Ormond Spray Park in Destrehan might be your new favorite summer hangout. It’s just about a 30-minute drive from New Orleans, completely free, and perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and big kids who still love to run through water like it’s their job.
If you’re anything like me, you love a spot where the kids can cool off, have a blast, and you don’t have to spend a dime. Ormond Spray Park checks all those boxes, and then some. Here’s everything you need to know before your visit.
Ormond Spray Park Location
You’ll find Ormond Spray Park tucked behind the Destrehan Fire Department at 1901 Ormond Blvd, Destrehan, LA 70047. It’s easy to get to and super close to a few other family-friendly stops if you want to make a little day trip out of it.
Parking is a Breeze
There’s plenty of parking, and the lot is just a short walk to the entrance—no need to lug swim bags, snacks, towels, and tiny humans across a massive field. You’ll be at the gate in no time.
Safe and Secure with a Fully Gated Park
One of the best features of this spray park is its fully gated layout, which gives me so much peace of mind as a mom. There’s also a friendly parish employee on duty who keeps an eye on the gate and makes sure no little ones slip out on their own. You can take a breath while your kids play.
Shady Spots and Seating for Grown-Ups
You’ll find benches and plenty of space for your stuff inside the gate. Large shade tarps are set up, so you can sit comfortably while watching the kids dash between splash zones. Whether staying dry or just resting between splash sessions, having a shady seat nearby is nice.
Splash Features Galore
Ormond Spray Park has fun spray features that keep the kids busy and calm. There’s a rainbow arch, mister, an enormous dome fountain, smaller ground sprayers, and a tunnel-style sprayer that feels like running through a car wash—it’s a total hit. And don’t forget the giant dumping bucket that keeps everyone on their toes. There’s plenty of excitement, whether they’re racing from one spray zone to the next or waiting for that bucket to tip.
It’s Free to Enter
Yep, free. Completely and totally free. No admission fees, no parking charges, no wristbands required. Pack your swimsuits, snacks, and towels, and head over. The kids get hours of fun, and you get to enjoy it without spending a penny. That’s a summer win if I’ve ever seen one.
