- 6 min read
Looking for an affordable way to enjoy summer with your family in Clayton County, Georgia? Your Clayton County Library card may help your household visit Spivey Splash Water Park for free.
The Clayton County Library System offers a limited number of Spivey Splash Water Park family passes for residents to check out through its local library branches. Each pass provides admission for up to four people, potentially saving a family as much as $80 based on the water park’s regular 2026 general admission price of $20 per person.
The passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved online. Families should contact their preferred Clayton County library branch to ask whether a pass is currently available before making a special trip.
What Is the Spivey Splash Family Pass?
The Spivey Splash Family Pass is a physical library pass that provides admission for four people to Spivey Splash Water Park in Jonesboro.
According to the Clayton County Library System, all six library branches receive a limited number of these family four-packs during the water park season. Because demand can be high, pass availability is not guaranteed.
The pass must be checked out in person from a participating Clayton County library branch.
