OUELLETTE PARK Splash Pad

Ouellette Park Splash Pad is a brand new splash pad in Orleans named after the Ouellette family. This one is so new, they haven’t finished putting down the sod yet. It’s not on the city of Ottawa splash pad list at the time of writing.

Being a new park, everything is pretty awesome.  The splash pad has loops, a tall archway, water cannons, and fountain sprays.  It’s a large pad so many children could happily play at one time.

The park has a huge gazebo area with many picnic tables.  There are a few playstructure and several interesting climbing structures to explore.  There is also a freshly paved path that runs around and through the park perfect for little cyclists and bladers.  There is a small forested area on one side of the park and the paths run through the forest. read more

QUEENSWOOD RIDGE PARK Splash Pad (OLD REVIEW)

This splash pad has been renovated. Click here to see current photos.

Queenswood Ridge Park Splash Pad is an older splash pad with a unique feature – a small red water slide. (But it’s still a basic old wooden post splash pad.) You’ll need a friend to hold the button down for the water slide to work.

The park near the pad is quite large.  There is plenty of shade in the park, a large hill, fields and a running track, a rink, and several playstructures.

FALLINGBROOK PARK Splash Pad

Fallingbrook Park Splash Pad is a newer pad whose main attraction is it’s two tall posts – a flower and a leaf.  The water pressure is fairly high and this small, shady pad is a nice place to get wet on a hot day.

The splash pad is next to a large park with a big hill and fields to run in, plenty of shade and places to sit, and a playstructure.  There is also a path that runs through the park for small cyclists and skaters.

GARDENWAY PARK Park Splash Pad

Gardenway Park Splash Pad is a newer pad whose main attraction is a tall green post with a dumping bucket and a spinning flower.  The water cycle is quite long and the pressure is high – this is a great place to get very, very wet.

Gardenway Park is quite large.  It’s an older park so there is plenty of shade and fields to run in.  There are swings and playstructures a short walk away from the splash pad.

We noticed there is also a great hill for tobogganing and an outdoor rink.  This is a park we’ll check out in the winter, too. read more

PROVENCE PARK Splash Pad

Provence Park Splash Pad is a relatively new splash pad.  It has several interesting structures including an unusual yellow doorway arch.

There is a gazebo for shade and a few playstructures and climbing structures in the park.

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. read more
