Four splash pads in Aurora, Ontario are now open for the 2026 summer season, offering families free places to cool down and play. Most of the locations began operating on May 29, with the Town Park pad expected to join them later, according to the Town of Aurora.
The open pads are at Ada Johnson Park (60 Hartwell Way), Trent Park (140 Thomas Phillips Drive), Stewart Burnett (189 Holladay Drive), and Edward Coltham (95 William Graham Drive). They are available every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., weather permitting, through early September.
The Town Park splash pad at 49 Wells Street is not open yet. The town says a later opening date will be announced, and residents should watch for updates.
The splash pads are not supervised by town staff. However, the facilities are inspected and sanitized daily under the Ministry of Health’s Safe Water Play regulations. Parents and guardians are responsible for watching their children while they use the water features.
The opening lines up with June being Recreation and Parks Month, a time to highlight how outdoor spaces benefit community health. The town reminds residents that if they see a hazard or need to report an issue at a splash pad, they can call the Parks Department at 365-500-3134.
