Spray Park

Hampden Memorial Park's Spray Park was opened in June of 2007.  The Spray Park is enjoyed by hundreds of Hampden residents and guests each summer.

The Spray Park was built in memory of Devon Rauscher, who died in a tragic auto accident in 2004. She was just 9 years old when she left us. Visitors to the park will note many engraved bricks in the walkways that are dedicated to family and friends.

The Spray Park is open from 9am to 8pm during the summer months and is free of charge to use.
