Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
A new splash pad with some innovative structures and jets. We were especially impressed with the Aqualien Power Spinner (aka cool spinning flower).
Although it’s a new park the city built a gazebo for shade. There is also a play structure at this park.

This splash pad is at the park right beside the Chinese Embassy and the Rideau River. There’s a play structure and tennis courts beside the splash pad.
We had fun at this splash pad. Really impressed with how high some of the ground water jets go. (They shoot higher than the water park structures.) The blue circle start button is on the ground right in the center of where all of the directional water jets are pointing at, so you’re bound to get wet.
They made it so the water naturally runs down the side, under a foot bridge, and into the river. Kinda cool. read more
