Splashpads are Open!

Hi everybody!

It’s splash pad season! Summer is here and it started to be boiling. Pools are closed because of Covid-19.

Luckily, splash pads here in Ottawa opened on Fri June 12, 2020.

The city of Ottawa said splashpads are fully operational by Thu June 18, 2020. They recommend if you’re using the splashpad…

• still maintain physical distancing
• bring lots of hand sanitizer so you can use it a lot
• make sure to not use your hands to activate splash pads, and instead use your elbow or foot. (Don’t use sticks or stones to push the button.)

Some splash pads are closed for repairs:

Anisha Park
Calzavera Park
Citiplace Park
Elmridge Park
Fawn Meadows Park
Fairlea
Glebe Memorial Park
Mark Yakabuski
McCarthy Park
Pioneer Plains Park
Seiveright Park
