The now-open splash pad now features a new, small-scale splash pad with multiple sprays. Hamilton Park's other amenities include a playground, a basketball court and a disc golf course.

A community consultation took place in 2021 for City staff to receive input on the features of the splash pad.

“This splash pad is a beautiful addition to Hamilton Park,” said Councillor Lesley Parnell. “It provides a perfect place for young families to have fun and cool down in the summer. Being outdoors with friends and family is key to everyone’s well-being and a building block to a thriving community.”

Splash pads are typically open from June to September and operate from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, weather permitting.

Splash pads are located at the following:

  • King Edward Park, 455 George St. S.

  • Nicholls Oval, 725 Armour Rd.

  • Rogers Cove, 131 Maria St.
