Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
The splash pad at Thornecliffe Park is a basic ground jets pad. It has seven jets of different strengths. The timer is short but it’s located on the top of a post of a height easy enough for young children to reach.
There is a gazebo at the park and a playstructure. The slides on the structure are metal so it’s harder to use in the summer sun.
Gerald Poulin has an older splash pad. It consists of one wooden post with medium strength sprays from three of the sides.
The park is a bit unique. There is a paved track that runs around the splash pad that would be nice for young ones learning to ride or blade. There is plenty of shade at the park and several benches and picnic tables. There is a play structure, hill, and field at the park.
An unusual splash pad. It’s quite a large pad; painted a light blue pool colour. The pad is located in an older neighbourhood so there is plenty of shade and benches available. There is a pirate ship play structure located nearby.
They painted a cool orange and blue swirl on the ground at Blue Willow Park Splash Pad and that makes all the difference.
A nice quiet little splash pad with a red archway and a couple of ground sprinklers. (We really like the pretty star shape spray pattern that these loops make.) There’s a picnic table under a gazebo nearby as well as a regular play structure.

An older splash pad with one blue post. Just a little water park and play structure beside the Old Town Hall community center below the highway.
