Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
A new splash pad with some innovative structures and jets. We were especially impressed with the Aqualien Power Spinner (aka cool spinning flower).
Although it’s a new park the city built a gazebo for shade. There is also a play structure at this park.
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. read more
Chapman Mills Main Street Park (West) Splash Pad is a new splash pad in Barrhaven with a unique structure – a green dragon! The splash pad has a lot of jets and will get you wet for sure.
It’s a newer park so there is little shade. There is a dragon themed playstructure beside the splash pad.

Brookshire is a newer park so there isn’t a lot of shade other than the gazebo structure. There are some playstructures right beside the splash pad.
