Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
Stonecrest Park Splash Pad is a new, basic splash pad full of sprinklers and jets guaranteed to get you wet. Be careful – the water pressure on the structures changes during the cycle and they rotate quickly. You will get surprised by water here!
The splash pad is located in a busy park next to a community centre. There is a toddler play area with a playstructure and swings, and a larger play structure and swing set.
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.
Vista Park has a brand new splash pad in Avalon South. When we visited (July 14, 2013), this splash pad wasn’t even listed on the city website or on Google Maps yet! (You can check out the park specs here on the city of Ottawa website.)
A lot of cool things about this park. We loved how they had 4 spray loops in a twist (so it looks like a spiral.) They also have a drinking fountain nearby that includes a spot on the side to rinse your feet and fill up water buckets!
The water pressure here isn’t as strong as some other parks (check out the wall of water from the spray loops at Sir Wilfred Laurier Park) but there’s so much going on here, that this urban water park still rocks. read more
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.
