Deer Run Park Splash Pad

Deer Run Park splash pad is a nice modern splashpad out in Stittsville.

There are four rainbow coloured rings to run through, or you could choose to stand underneath the blue domed umbrella. (If you’re brave enough, you could stand under the 3 blue dumping buckets for a little splash!)

In addition to the ground sprinklers, there are also two water cannons to blast your siblings (or parents!)

The park has some shade – you can find two picnic benches underneath a blue gazebo. There’s also a play structure nearby, as well as a basketball court. read more

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. read more

FAWN MEADOW PARK Splash Pad

We didn’t see any deer when we went, but there’s a fantastic splash pad at Fawn Meadow Park. (We did see a deer crossing sign driving in, however.)

This is a new park, but already there’s a lot going for it. The gazebo with the picnic table is a nice shady spot to watch your kids splash around, but there may not be enough room for everybody. One family brought their own beach umbrella and camped out on the grass which was a great idea. When the trees get bigger, this will be a very nice park. read more

PRIMROSE PARK Splash Pad

Primrose Park is a brand new modern splash pad in Ottawa located close to Chinatown. There are plenty of picnic tables here with natural shade (but no gazebo.) There’s also a new modern treehouse theme playstructure so kids can cool down in the water and work up a sweat on the monkey bars.

CLAUDETTE CAIN PARK Splash Pad

Claudette Cain Park Splash Pad is a newer, fun pad with many fun structures and a long cycle.  It’s main attractions are several tall flower posts.

The splash pad is located at one end of the sprawling, beautiful Claudette Cain Park.  This wooded park is nestled along the river and is well worth a visit.  There is tons of shade, a large gazebo with tables, two playstructures, two port-a-potties, and a system of paved paths running through the park.  This is a place where you could easily pass a day. read more
