The City of St. John’s has three outdoor splash pads that are scheduled to be open July 2 to September 4: y Bowring Park y Bannerman Park y Kenmount Terrace Community Centre

We practice water conservation at our splash pads by using retreated, recirculated water.

To ensure wise water use and that we aren’t unnecessarily treating water that no one has been playing in, the water features at our splash pads are set on a four-minute timer. This means they run for four minutes and then the water shuts off until you push the button to reactivate it.
