Diamond Jubilee Splash Pad really is a jewel of a park. It’s by far one of the larger and most creative splash pads we’ve encountered to date. There are a variety of unique structures that spray on a cycle. We especially liked the footing – seems to be a softer type of concrete – and the fact that this large splash pad has an area with lower water structures…perfect for hesitant splashers.

VISTA PARK Splashpad
Vista Park has a brand new splash pad in Avalon South. When we visited (July 14, 2013), this splash pad wasn’t even listed on the city website or on Google Maps yet! (You can check out the park specs here on the city of Ottawa website.)
A lot of cool things about this park. We loved how they had 4 spray loops in a twist (so it looks like a spiral.) They also have a drinking fountain nearby that includes a spot on the side to rinse your feet and fill up water buckets!
The water pressure here isn’t as strong as some other parks (check out the wall of water from the spray loops at Sir Wilfred Laurier Park) but there’s so much going on here, that this urban water park still rocks.
HUNTLEY CENTENNIAL (CARP) Splash Pad
Huntley Centennial Splash Pad is a new splash pad in Carp with many fun structures. The cycle was quite long and it was easy to get very, very wet. There is a gazebo for shade.
