The name says it all! Splash is one of three wave pools located in Ottawa.
Wave pools provide the perfect destination for visitors to our city including bus tours and group outings. Residents can also enjoy the "surf" or take a leisurely swim when the waves are off. There is also a kiddie pool with spray fountains, whirlpool, 25 metre lap pool with an accessible ramp, and a 32 metre waterslide.
The hours shown are the customer service hours.
For swim times, see the drop-in schedule.
