Sprayground

Preserving a Legacy – The Family Sprayground

During your visit, let the kids cool down at DRC’s family sprayground! Watch them run through jets and streams of water and activate recordings of dolphin, manatee and whale sounds.

This vision went from dream to reality through the support and generosity of our members and donors.

The Sprayground stands as a tribute to Shawn Rodriguez, a young man who sadly left us far too early in life. The son of Founder’s Jayne Shannon Rodriguez and Mandy Rodriguez, Shawn was an educator at Dolphin Research Center. He grew up with marine mammals as his family and had a huge passion for sharing them with everyone, but most especially children.
