Shade: shade structure over two park benches between playground and splash pad, some shade will be available from the surrounding trees once they mature

Overall assessment: The stream with the small bridge was definitely the highlight for us at this splash pad. You can stand on the bridge and get a bit wet with the mist and water on a good day, and a bit more soaked on a windy day! The in ground jets offered a really high display of water blasts, which were a bit too aggressive for our three year old (CAUTION: definitely watch eyes if anyone decides they want to step on the jets and then let go, the water pressure is a bit intense!). This is a great community splash pad that has a smaller play structure beside it (we didn't enjoy as it was still taped off). Our video really shows the best this splash pad has to offer.

Facilities/Surrounding Park Area/Other:

• see Beachfront Park post
• washrooms open from 9am to 9pm (seasonal)

Seating: 6 park benches facing the splash pad

Shade: none on the splash pad, but picnic areas further up along the boardwalk and on the beach have plenty of shade

Overall assessment: This is a great splash pad with plenty of benches for watchful eyes and bags full of towels.  The tunnel of water mist is a great place to cool off.  The kids love hitting the buttons to activate each water feature too and see if they can get each other wet.  It's also nice to have it right next to the washrooms and the playground just off of the beach so it's easy for kids to run from one to the other. NOTE: it can become a VERY busy area in the summer
