Big Bird Park Splash Pad

Big Bird Park Splash Pad is a modern splash pad located in Chatelaine Village (Orleans), Ottawa. It’s located on a little bit of green space that connects Marsha Park and Big Bird Park. Lots of street parking on Mockingbird Drive.

(Psst, Big Bird Park even has a playground facebook page.)

We checked out the splashpad on Tuesday July 9, 2019 and the splash pad was under repairs. (The city had put giant orange pylons over the ground sprinklers.)

You can tell it’s a nice splash pad, even though the water was off. read more

JOSEPH VEZINA PARK Splashpad

The new splash pad at Joseph Vezina Park has a gazebo which provides a nice break from the hot sun.

Lots of ground sprinklers, and we always love standing under the water umbrellas from the tall posts. It looks like a shimmering dome of water.

There is a tall green wavy post, but unfortunately it was broken when we visited.

FOUNTAINHEAD PARK Splash Pad

The new splashpad at Fountainhead Place park is a nice little modern water park.

It only has a few ground sprinklers, but it’s good enough for thirsty dogs and to cool down on a hot summer day. There’s a play structure nearby so you can run back and forth between the two.

CANTERBURY PARK Splash Pad

The splash pad at Cantebury Park has crazy water pressure.

Maybe it was because one of the little ground fountain sprinklers coming out of the soccer balls was broken, but the spray from the water jets were going up as high as the trees.

There’s also an outdoor wading pool here, but it was closed when we visited.

This is a nice little splash pad that will definitely get you wet. The sign says it’s proudly sponsored by Urbandale Corporation and it’s right beside the Cantebury recreation complex (Brian Kilrea Arena), so you should be able to use the bathroom in there when your little ones need a break. read more

FAIRLEA PARK Splash Pad

A nice modern splash pad at Fairlea Park near Walkley and Heron road. This one has a red archway to run through and a water cannon to squirt your friends.

A few families stoped by to splish splash as we played in the water park. It has an older play structure nearby when you need to take a break from the water.

RUSSEL BOYD PARK Splash Pad

We were really excited by the whale tale at the splashpad at Russel Boyd Park.

Some splashpads make you feel trapped with the sun beating down on you. This one is nice and shady. It’s right beside Blossom Park Public School

A nice modern splashpad with water cannons, archways to run throw, some dumping buckets, and yes, a blue whale tale.
