archways

Fisher Park

Fisher Park is a nice little modern splash pad in Ottawa. There are two dragons, a couple of water sprinklers, some water cannons, as well as some arches and mushrooms.

There is parking at Fisher Park alternative school as well as nearby street parking. Beside the splash pad, there is a gazebo and a park.

Big Bird Park Splash Pad

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!

FAIRLEA PARK Splash Pad

A nice modern splash pad at Fairlea Park near Walkley and Heron road. This one has a red archway to run through and a water cannon to squirt your friends.

A few families stoped by to splish splash as we played in the water park. It has an older play structure nearby when you need to take a break from the water.

RUSSEL BOYD PARK Splash Pad

We were really excited by the whale tale at the splashpad at Russel Boyd Park.

Some splashpads make you feel trapped with the sun beating down on you. This one is nice and shady. It’s right beside Blossom Park Public School

A nice modern splashpad with water cannons, archways to run throw, some dumping buckets, and yes, a blue whale tale.

QUEENSWOOD RIDGE PARK Splashpad (RENOVATED)

The newly renovated Queenswood Ridge Park is a significant improvement over the old one. (It used to be an old wooden post splashpad with a red water slide. Check out the old photos here.)

Now it’s a modern water park with two archways to run throw, a bunch of ground sprinklers spraying water into the air, 3 dumping buckets, and of course, water cannons to shoot your friends.

It’s a nice improvement – there’s still plenty of shade in the park, a large hill, fields, a running track, a rink, and of course, several play structures.

LAWSON PARK Splash Pad (Renovated)

The splash pad at Lawson Park is insane. There’s so much stuff here, we didn’t know where to start.

This used to be a bizarre giant wooden post that didn’t work, but the city renovated it into a very nice modern splashpad with lots of flower and leaf water structures. (Check out this google map satellite image of the renovation)

They have a great garden theme: giant spinning flowers, leaves that spray you, twisty water guns, and yellow rings to run through. There’s also a little area that’s kind of separate that doesn’t have powerful stuff – the 3 gentle water gushers here would be perfect for little splashers.
