Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
A nice quiet little splash pad with a red archway and a couple of ground sprinklers. (We really like the pretty star shape spray pattern that these loops make.) There’s a picnic table under a gazebo nearby as well as a regular play structure.

Chapman Mills Main Street Park (West) Splash Pad is a new splash pad in Barrhaven with a unique structure – a green dragon! The splash pad has a lot of jets and will get you wet for sure.
It’s a newer park so there is little shade. There is a dragon themed playstructure beside the splash pad.

The splash pad at Queenswood Heights Centennial Park Splash is nice. There are two separate water play areas separated by some picnic tables under some tall trees.
One of the splashpads has two ground geysers, two water cannons, two really high shooting jets, followed by the five bells dumping tower.
The other splash pad is a smaller, circular water park with a single blue water tower and four ground sprinklers. We thought it would be an old school (wimpy) water post, but it’s actually not bad. read more
