Ground Cover: cement
Main Equipment: *button activated
Accessibility Features: fully accessible
Facilities/Surrounding Park Area/Other:
Seating: 1 picnic table in shaded pavilion, lots of seating along the rock wall edge of the splash pad
Shade: none on the splash pad, but right beside the splash pad there is plenty of shade from the trees
Overall assessment: A great addition to the splash pads in Ajax. It is the perfect spot for a short picnic and cool off, and has a great playground right next to it. The variations of the in ground water jets are really neat and you just have to wait for them to come on to see how they start short or tall and then change as the time elapses. If you sit along the rock wall don't worry you will not get wet as the water stops right before it reaches the wall. You can check out our video below to see it in action!
