Chapel Hill Park is an older splash pad and consists of one simple wood post with two sprays.  Nothing impressive but just enough to cool off on a hot day.

There is plenty of shade and a play structure at the park.

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.

Aladdin Park Splash Pad visited July 2012

The splash pad at Aladdin Park in Blossom Park needs to be upgraded. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’re better off driving five more minutes to the splash pad at Emerald Woods Park.

Aladdin Park itself is a great park with what looks to be a recently renovated play structure. But the splash pad here is more of a historic example of what splash pads in Ottawa used to be, as opposed to a fun water park to play in:

• It consists of one wooden post with two nozzles on opposite sides.
• The button is on the post and when you push it, the water streams out for a few seconds. Not a lot of pressure and not a long time.

Splash pad aside, Aladdin Park is quite nice. Nice big leafy trees and a new play structure for younger and older kids. read more
