Splash Pads
Splash pads are open daily from 9 a.m. to dusk:
We practice water conservation at our splash pads and they both use recirculated and retreated water.
•
Bannerman Park from July 2 to September 4
•
Bowring Park from July 2 to August 27
To ensure wise water use and that we aren’t unnecessarily treating water that no one has been playing in, the water features at both 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.
New Bowring Park Pool House Completed The City of St. John’s, in partnership with the Bowring Park Foundation, has constructed a new $3.5 million pool house to provide an enhanced recreation experience in Bowring Park. Though the pool itself remains unchanged, the pool deck has been completely replaced, a new terrace area for non-swimming parents & supervisors has been installed, and the surrounding area has been extensively upgraded.
music @ concert series
The City’s annual concert series is back for another year! The Music @ Harbourside lunchtime concert series runs from July 7 to September 22, every Friday at 12:30 p.m. in beautiful Harbourside Park. Bring your lunch, your co-worker, or your family and friends and enjoy some of the finest musical talent the City has to offer! Each concert opens with a youth performer coordinated through a partnership with the NL Folk Arts Society, and features a diverse line-up of musical main acts that span the genres: folk, rock, blues, hip hop, and more!
