The "sprayground" at Woodruff Park on Olympia's westside.

Woodruff Park is an 2.38-acre (0.96 ha) urban park located in and administered by the city of Olympia, Washington.[1] Amenities include a seasonal sprayground,[2] picnic shelter, restrooms, volleyball court, tennis and pickleball courts, and a basketball half-court.[1]

Woodruff Park was named after Samuel C. Woodruff, Jr., who in effect donated the property to the city in 1892 for just $1.[3] The park sits at the crest of Olympia's westside hill, between the arterial Harrison Avenue and Garfield Elementary School.
