Sparky Pocket Park is an engaging and fun art installation spot that kids will love to explore. 

Although this location does not include a playscape or look like a traditional park, this quirky random art installation is on the grounds of an old electric substation, hence the clever name. It’s a great place to take kiddos to provide inspiration for creating art - it would also be a fantastic location to hold a scavenger hunt for all the strange items stuck into the walls. Running through and touching the various textures of the installation piece is particularly fun for kiddos. You can even rent the space for your event for up to 71 persons at $40 per hour.
