Ben Franklin Park Splash Pad is at 188 Knoxdale. The splash pad has been on since at least the long weekend, but the official opening is on July 12, 2019.
We’re hoping to splash there soon!
OPEN
Deer Run Park Splash Pad
Deer Run Park splash pad is a nice modern splashpad out in Stittsville.
There are four rainbow coloured rings to run through, or you could choose to stand underneath the blue domed umbrella. (If you’re brave enough, you could stand under the 3 blue dumping buckets for a little splash!)
In addition to the ground sprinklers, there are also two water cannons to blast your siblings (or parents!)
The park has some shade – you can find two picnic benches underneath a blue gazebo. There’s also a play structure nearby, as well as a basketball court.
All in all, a nice little splash pad!
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.
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.
