Splash Pads in Winnipeg, MB

So I decided to visit the splash pads in the south end of the city.  We live near the St. Norbert one.  They added more little kid centered ones last year and a fence. The only real downfall with ours is that they messed up with doing the plumbing; so that the new section comes on, then the old section comes on.  But when the old section comes on, there is not enough water pressure to make all the structures work.

So with that being said, most of the splash pads are going to be judged against this one.  We went to the one in Lindenwoods today.  Everyone has always said how great it is, so we thought we would check it out.  They do have two water guns there, which you can't actually shoot each other with.  The water doesn't drain nicely it pools on two sides of the grass making a muddy mess.  It's a small area, but it does have a nice play structure  right next to it. And the centre is open for washroom use, plus the sign says the canteen is open from 11-4 every day.  So if you forgot snacks you could just pick some up there.

Here is a picture of my kids using the water guns

 So basically this is the splash pad, there is  a dragon, 3 rings, a tree and floor water sprouts.  Super fun for little ones. 


Of course here is a cute picture of my not so little guy.  He's trying to get me with the gun, but it doesn't spin all the way around.

My kids have fun where ever we go.  Which I'm thankful for.  Now we just have to decide which one to go to next.

  1. We were at the Dakota splash park yesterday. Have you been to that one? It's pretty nice - the kids loved the water slide.
