Overview

Vancouver’s largest outdoor spray facility and offers hours worth of summer fun especially for young children and families. Not a swimming pool but rather a series of water geysers and canons that surprise users at every turn, the ankle depth water and other specially designed features make this an accessible facility for all children.

This area was once the site of one of the park’s two draw & fill pools. Once a week high tides were captured by the pool’s locking gates only to be spilled back at week’s end and refilled with fresh sea water. The park now uses a fresh water supply because of health regulations. There’s also a pool here with a life guard. Generations of Vancouverites took swimming lessons here under the Vancouver Sun Newspaper’s Learn To Swim program, so popular in the early days. They are open daily from 11:30am to dusk, from Victoria Day until Labour Day. This is an unsupervised play area.
