Whiterock Park Splash Pad is a simple splash pad with a blue post that sprays water out one side.
The splash pad is located on the border of the Aviation Parkway so there are plenty of trees. There are a few older playstructures beside the pad.

LAWSON PARK Splash Pad (OLD)
Lawson Park has a tall wooden structure that obviously was once a water tower. However, we were unable to locate a start button. This pad is obviously closed.
KIWANIS PARK Splash Pad
Kiwanis Park Splash Pad is a simple pad consisting of a metal post that sprays water out one side. The post is located beside a wading pools. There is a fence around the pool and post so the post can only be accessed when the wading pool is open.
The splash pad is in an older, shaded park. There is a smaller playstructure beside the pad that is great for preschool aged children.
(There is a sign posted at the entrance of the park that lets you know archery practice is forbidden. That gave us a chuckle.)
PALMERSTON PARK Splash Pad
Palmerston Park Splash Pad is a simple pad with a yellow metal post that mists water out three sides. There is also a playstucture in this cool, shaded park.
If you drive one minute more down Palmerston Drive, you’ll end up at City Centre Park which has a more elaborate splash pad and larger park.
CARDINAL GLEN PARK Splash Pad
Cardinal Glen Park Splash Pad is an older park located in the community of Cardinal Glen. It has a simple wood post that sprays water out three of it’s sides.
The park itself would be nice for younger children. The park is fenced in on all sides, has plenty of shade, places to eat, and a few smaller structures to play in.
(The city of Ottawa open data says this splash pad is closed and under repair, but when we visited, the wooden post splash pad turned on just fine… Mind you, it is a wooden post.)
QUEENSWOOD RIDGE PARK Splash Pad (OLD REVIEW)
This splash pad has been renovated. Click here to see current photos.
Queenswood Ridge Park Splash Pad is an older splash pad with a unique feature – a small red water slide. (But it’s still a basic old wooden post splash pad.) You’ll need a friend to hold the button down for the water slide to work.
The park near the pad is quite large. There is plenty of shade in the park, a large hill, fields and a running track, a rink, and several playstructures.
