Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
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.
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
