ALADDIN PARK Splash Pad
Aladdin Park Splash Pad visited July 2012
The splash pad at Aladdin Park in Blossom Park needs to be upgraded. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’re better off driving five more minutes to the splash pad at Emerald Woods Park.
Aladdin Park itself is a great park with what looks to be a recently renovated play structure. But the splash pad here is more of a historic example of what splash pads in Ottawa used to be, as opposed to a fun water park to play in:
- It consists of one wooden post with two nozzles on opposite sides.
- The button is on the post and when you push it, the water streams out for a few seconds. Not a lot of pressure and not a long time.
Splash pad aside, Aladdin Park is quite nice. Nice big leafy trees and a new play structure for younger and older kids.

ARNOTT PARK Splash Pad
Arnott is a simple splash pad with one blue metal post that sprays water when the button is pressed. The splash pad is older and is landscaped with rocks; an unusual and attractive looking feature. The post itself is mounted on a rock.
There is plenty of shade and a playstructure at this quiet park.

PORTOBELLO PARK Splash Pad
UPDATE (June 10, 2019): This splash pad seems to be broken – the water wasn’t working.
Portobello Park Splash Pad is a newer splash pad with a few interesting structure. The water comes out of the different areas at different times.
The park has younger trees so there isn’t much shade other than a gazebo structure. There are several play structures to play on, including a smaller toddler structure and swing.

CHAPMAN MILLS PARK Splash Pad
Chapman Mills Park Splash Pad is an older pad with a tall red post. The buttons need to be continuously pressed for water to come out, making it a challenge for younger children to use.
The park included a few older wooden structures. There is plenty of shade and a fenced in toddler area.
(By the way, the splashpad at Chapman Mills Main Street Park is nicer. There be dragons there.)
