Parkhaven Splashpad

We enjoyed a first-time visit on Fathers Day 2023 to Parkhaven Park and Splashpad located in the community of Whitehaven within the are of the former city of Nepean. This is a great spot to take kids, young and older for a refreshing run through the splashpad, leap the stone pads around the play structure area that are imprinted with tree slab cut imprints, or shape of a large frog or turtle as part of the fun.The swing set offers toddler to older child play including a disc swing that accommodates two kids. There are also two play structures that provide lots of physical play and challenges including a mini rock wall climb that our toddler (3 yo) grandson easily scaled under Nanas watchful eye.There were a couple of large picnic tables and picnic area, excellent tree shade, and a bench for weary & watchful parents. We hosted our children, their partners and our grandchildren for Fathers Day with a takeout lunch at the park. Not sure if the splashpad water can be consumed, and if not a drinking water pedestal would be welcome.The adjacent green space on the south end of the park was getting good use by the dog crowd, and so was the splashpad for the odd pup that needed a bit of cooling off after a run in the park. The same green space although not huge, still offered sufficient space for some games of lacrosse, football, ultimate disc, or soccer - hopefully sans doggie doodoo.Be advised there are no restrooms at the park.Parkhaven Park is truly a Whitehaven community treasure and easily located on Google Maps off Woodroffe near Carling Avenue.

it's good and quiet places for children

It's a great place for kids ...

COVID tip: Visit an hour before sunset to avoid the crowd.We went there for the first time. The kids really enjoyed the cold water, especially the water-dumping buckets. Some nice sand to lay with and a play ground. Some time lay structure are newish. Has a wide grass field.

Two great play structures great splash pad great swings lots of shade to sit and a big field. This park is best for infants all the way up to age 12. It is a smaller park so anyone older may not have as much fun. This is my kids favorite park aged 2, 3 and 5.

Our daughter had a greatly time. But it is in need of repair. Please City of Ottawa fix it up for all our little ones!
