Big Bird Park Splash Pad is a modern splash pad located in Chatelaine Village (Orleans), Ottawa. It’s located on a little bit of green space that connects Marsha Park and Big Bird Park. Lots of street parking on Mockingbird Drive.
(Psst, Big Bird Park even has a playground facebook page.)
We checked out the splashpad on Tuesday July 9, 2019 and the splash pad was under repairs. (The city had put giant orange pylons over the ground sprinklers.)
You can tell it’s a nice splash pad, even though the water was off.
There was a red post with a spinner at the top, a tall umbrella post to hide under, two circle hoops to run through, and 6 ground sprinklers. They also had a yellow post with a circle at the top that you could rotate. (It’s too stiff for a little one to turn, but grown ups and big kids could probably get it to rotate.)
We couldn’t get a sense of how strong the water pressure was – different splash pads seem to range from gentle fountains to higher power water jets.
We’ll have to come back when it’s working again!
