Natomas resident Mariah Ashe’s sons were among the first to play at the North Natomas Regional Park sprayground on Friday.

“…man they had a BLAST!” wrote Ashe when she posted a photo of the pair playing in the water on The Natomas Buzz‘s Facebook page.

Ashe said she takes Braxton, 5, and Laith, 2, to the park about once a week.

“It’s our favorite park in Natomas because so many sweet kids go there too and they always want to make friends,” Ashe told The Natomas Buzz.

Twelve spraygrounds at parks citywide officially opened today, May 28 and will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Labor Day weekend.
