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.

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.
George C. Brown Splash Pad opened in August of 2012. It has some fun structures including one we haven’t seen at other pads – a large mushroom umbrella.
The park has plenty of shade and a playstructure.
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.
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.
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.
