The splash pads are open from noon to 7 p.m. daily. They are located at:

• 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 splash pad at Nicholls Oval park is temporarily closed for maintenance, and expected to open later this spring.

“Splash pads are a sure sign that summer is on its way. The City’s Public Works team worked quickly to complete annual commissioning so that our splash pads are available for families during the warmer weather. Play safe and have fun,” said Councillor Lesley Parnell, the Chair of Council’s Arenas, Parks and Recreation portfolio.

Residents are reminded to follow Peterborough Public Health’s recommendations based on the local COVID-19 Risk Index.

Wading pools in City parks will be opened later in June when lifeguard supervision is provided. Beaches at Rogers Cove and Beavermead Park will not have supervision until the City’s lifeguard program starts on June 25.

Information on the City’s beaches, wading pools and splash pads is online at peterborough.ca/splash.
