Look at this picture from Oklahoman Photographer Paul Hellstern. Adorable, people.

Spraygrounds are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day from Saturday to Sept. 3. The best part: they’re free. I mean, you’re already paying for them with your tax dollars, so you might as well take advantage of them, right? Here are the locations:
