Best Playgrounds with Water Spray Features
There are lots of great playgrounds that have great water spray features. Here are a few of my favorites.
Note: the Chicago Park District distinguishes between 'water spray features' and 'water playgrounds.' I haven't found a working definition of the two, but my sense is that water spray features tend to be integrated into a playground or park whereas a water playground is usually a fully enclosed space with controlled access and sometimes lifeguards.

Huge water area that is very popular and often used by Chicago Park summer camp groups.
Walsh Park - Playground
Jets from the ground that can be turned on and off by the stomp on the special button.
