The pads are open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

City splash pads are at the following locations:

• King Edward Park, 455 George St. S.

• Rogers Cove, 131 Maria St.

• Kinsmen Park, 1 Kinsmen Way (Sherbrooke Street and Clonsilla Avenue)

• Barnardo Park, Barnardo Avenue north of Sunset Boulevard

The Nicholls Oval Park splash pad is undergoing repairs and the splash pad at Turner Park at 673 Chamberlain St. will be opened later by ABC Recreation.

“Splash pads are a sure sign that summer is on its way,” said Councillor Lesley Parnell. “The City’s Public Works team worked quickly to complete annual commissioning so that our splash pads are available for families for the Victoria Day weekend.”

Any City wading pools will open at a later date when lifeguard supervision is provided. Beaches at Rogers Cove and Beavermead Park will not have supervision until July 1 when the City’s lifeguard program begins.

New small water spray features will be operational later this season at Quaker Foods City Square and Hamilton Park according to the City’s press release.
