Find the Best Splash Pads in Ottawa
Bandmaster Park Splash Pad is a new splash pad with an very interesting structure. The pad’s main feature is something called an Aqualien Rainforest – a tall six post structure that has three central flower posts and three taller dumping flower posts that spill onto the shorter flowers. It’s certainly a novel structure to play under and to admire.
Bandmaster is a spacious park with lots of room to run and a playstructure.
Bradley Ridge Splash Pad is a brand new splash pad that isn’t on the City of Ottawa splash pad list yet (at the time of visiting). It has some fancy structures – two leafs and a spinning flower – but it’s a fairly basic pad. When the start button is pressed all the structures spray at the same time.
As it’s a new park there isn’t a great deal of shade, but there is a nice playstructure and some attractive landscaping.

Diamond Jubilee Splash Pad really is a jewel of a park. It’s by far one of the larger and most creative splash pads we’ve encountered to date. There are a variety of unique structures that spray on a cycle. We especially liked the footing – seems to be a softer type of concrete – and the fact that this large splash pad has an area with lower water structures…perfect for hesitant splashers.
A nice splash pad in an urban playground. The green leafy mist and the yellow flower cup add a splash of nature surrounded by several schools.
Fairfield Park Splash Pad is a newer pad whose best feature is two tall yellow daisy posts that dome water out the top.

Huntley Centennial Splash Pad is a new splash pad in Carp with many fun structures. The cycle was quite long and it was easy to get very, very wet. There is a gazebo for shade.
