Arnott is a simple splash pad with one blue metal post that sprays water when the button is pressed. The splash pad is older and is landscaped with rocks; an unusual and attractive looking feature. The post itself is mounted on a rock.
There is plenty of shade and a playstructure at this quiet park.

Portobello Park Splash Pad is a newer splash pad with a few interesting structure. The water comes out of the different areas at different times.
The park has younger trees so there isn’t much shade other than a gazebo structure. There are several play structures to play on, including a smaller toddler structure and swing.

Chapman Mills Park Splash Pad is an older pad with a tall red post. The buttons need to be continuously pressed for water to come out, making it a challenge for younger children to use.
The park included a few older wooden structures. There is plenty of shade and a fenced in toddler area.
(By the way, the splashpad at Chapman Mills Main Street Park is nicer. There be dragons there.)

The splash pad at South Nepean Park is awesome. When we came, the water park was so packed that we couldn’t get many photos without people in them. We were just blown away by the number of structures they have.
This was one of the first splash pads that we visited. You can tell because we only have three decent shots of the place. We’ll have to go back to get a better inventory of the things they have at this splash park.
