Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
Bradley Ridge Splash Pad is a brand new splash pad that isn’t on the City of Ottawa splash pad list yet (at the time of visiting). It has some fancy structures – two leafs and a spinning flower – but it’s a fairly basic pad. When the start button is pressed all the structures spray at the same time.
As it’s a new park there isn’t a great deal of shade, but there is a nice playstructure and some attractive landscaping.
Thanks to Beca for writing in and letting us know there’s a gazebo! read more
Roy Park Splash Pad is a wooden post with a twist – literally. The city updated the wooden post by adding an elephant head to the top of the post. When the button is pressed, mist sprays out the elephant trunk. The elephant can be twisted in any direction.
It’s not an overly impressive splash pad, but the play structures have been recently renovated and are perfect for little ones. There’s also plenty of shade and a water fountain available.
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.
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.
They painted a cool orange and blue swirl on the ground at Blue Willow Park Splash Pad and that makes all the difference.
