Area: West Pickering

Hours of Operation: 9am - 8pm (seasonal, hours are weather permitting)

Installed: 2016

Age Range: all ages

Parking: large parking lot off of Rosebank Rd, some street parking off of Braeburn Cres

Ground Cover: cement

Main Equipment: 
  • 2 spinable spray posts
  • 1 rotating spray snail
  • 1  small spray post
  • waterfall and stream
  • multiple in ground water jets
  • 1 button activation post
Accessibility Features: wheelchair accessible 

Facilities/Surrounding Park Area/Other:
  • see Amberlea Park post
  • seasonal washrooms (not beside the splash pad but a good walk away)

Seating: 2 park benches at the playground, plenty of boulders around the splash pad to sit on

Shade: no shade over the splash pad itself but some surrounding tree shade around the park and over both benches (late in the morning and early afternoon)

Overall assessment: This is a splash pad with a lot of interactive features that kids will love. The snail shell spins, the tall cattail can be spun, and the reed has spinning water features too! Not to mention the really neat waterfall and stream feature to splash about in at the bottom of the splash pad.

To the far right is the parking lot. Follow the path to the playground and splash pad behind the trees behind the ball diamond. It is a 5-10 min walk for toddlers.
