Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
Fallingbrook Park Splash Pad is a newer pad whose main attraction is it’s two tall posts – a flower and a leaf. The water pressure is fairly high and this small, shady pad is a nice place to get wet on a hot day.
The splash pad is next to a large park with a big hill and fields to run in, plenty of shade and places to sit, and a playstructure. There is also a path that runs through the park for small cyclists and skaters.
Gardenway Park Splash Pad is a newer pad whose main attraction is a tall green post with a dumping bucket and a spinning flower. The water cycle is quite long and the pressure is high – this is a great place to get very, very wet.
Gardenway Park is quite large. It’s an older park so there is plenty of shade and fields to run in. There are swings and playstructures a short walk away from the splash pad.
We noticed there is also a great hill for tobogganing and an outdoor rink. This is a park we’ll check out in the winter, too. read more
Joe Jamieson Park Splash Pad is an older splash pad with one large red post. The water pressure is extremely high and there is an impressive amount of spray coming out of the post.
The park next to the splash pad has plenty of shade, some swings, and a playstructure.
Hiawatha Park Splash Pad is an older splash pad with one wood post. The water cycle is fairly short.
The splash pad is isolated in a forested, shaded area at one end of Hiawatha Park. There is a playstructure walking distance from the pad but they aren’t visible to each other.
North Vineyard Park Splash Pad is a basic splash pad with a unique structure – a tall post with a firefighter cutout. (Which makes sense as the splash pad is right beside a fire station.)
There is plenty of shade, places to sit, and room to run at the park. There are playstructures at the other end of the park; they are quite a distance from the splash pad.
It was a bit challenging to access this splash pad. It’s not connected by pathways to the streets that surround the park. We needed to park and walk on the main road to get to the pad. read more
Marcel Beriault Park Splash Pad is an older splash pad with a wood post that sprays water out three sides.
Although the splash pad is basic, the park itself is nice. There are a few playstructures (including an old wood fitness station), plenty of shade, and lots of room to run.
