HARROLD PLACE PARK Splash Pad

Harrold Place Park Splash Pad was a charming, lovely surprise of a park nestled in a quiet street.  The splash pad is actually quite big with a long, rotating cycle of water in it’s structures.  The main features of the splash pad are two large arches on either side of the pad and two tall serpentine posts that spray water out of the ends.  This is a nice splash pad for more hesitant splashers as there is a lot of room between the structures and the water pressure isn’t too high.

The park is well shaded, has a gazebo and plenty of places to sit, and has a playstructure to explore. read more

CELEBRATION PARK Splash Pad

Celebration Park Splash Pad is a fun splash pad in a large park.  The splash pad has a long rotating cycle and the pad itself is fairly spacious.  The main structures are a spray loop, a spraying post, and a tall post with a bucket, flower, and pipe that rain water down on you.

The park has some shade but there is a gazebo beside the splash pad.  There are also swings and two playstructures to explore right beside the pad.

GREENBORO PARK Splash Pad

Greenboro Park Splash Pad is an older splashpad with three ground jets shooting up into the centre of the pad.

What makes this splash pad worth a visit is the park connected to it.  The splash pad is directly beside one of the city’s large wading pools.  (There are lifeguards on duty at the pool.)  There are also a few fun playstructures to explore right beside the pad.  Another bonus of this park is it’s close proximity to the Greenboro Community Centre – complete with a newly renovated library and public washrooms. read more

WINTERWOOD PARK Splash Pad

We have three words for Winterwood Park Splash Pad:  holy water pressure!  This newer splashpad has some standard features like a fire hydrant and tall aqua dome post, but what make the splash pad interesting is the incredible amount of water that blasts out if it’s structures.  The aqua dome posts usually gently dome water out the top…this one blasted out.  Similarly the usually medium sized fountain sprays were as tall as the surrounding trees.  Impressive and definitely a way to get very wet. read more

SHEFFIELD GLEN PARK Splash Pad

Sheffield Glen Park Splash Pad is a simple pad in a large, older park.  The start button turns on three very powerful fountain sprays that shoot up and out into the pad.  The streams seem a bit off centre and most of the water goes to one side off the pad.

The park is quite spacious and shaded.  There is a playstructure and swing beside the splash pad.

MANOR PARK Splash Pad

Manor Park Splash Pad has a fire hydrant, a tall aquadome post, and some ground sprinklers.  The park itself has a nice atmosphere – there is plenty of shade and places to eat, a few structures, and a community centre that had public washrooms open at the time of our visit.

The City of Ottawa open data says this splash pad is only open on weekends, but it worked fine on a Friday morning.
