    This was by far the absolute best waterpark I have ever been too with my girls! They loved it!! I didn't think it was that big from some of the pictures on Google. I was blown away when I got there. They have a huge water play area for the kids. I mini wave pool, and a waiting pool as well to relax in. Big water play structure. A playground nearby as well. Change rooms and lifeguards on duty as well!! And to top it all off, it was free!! The girls just needed a wristband to enter. We will definitely be coming back a lot this summer! I highly recommend this place for all families with little ones and older kids as well!! 👍

    A hidden gem in Scarborough. If you have kids and looking for a way to kill an afternoon in the summer on a budget, I highly recommend this place. Free to all, pack a cooler, find some shade and let the kids go crazy. Lifeguards on duty, clean and safe. Bathrooms on site too. 👍🏼

    What a wonderful find. Admission is Free! Tons of splash areas for kids to enjoy the water - a wading pool area as well. Water is cold but some kids sure don’t mind. The slides were closed off and inaccessible. Changing rooms/bathrooms on site and clean. Lot’s of life guards on the premises. When you’re done with the water park you can walk over to the other side where there is a dry park, sand, swings and lot’s of green space. Perfect place for picnics too.

    Best waterpark in the town free of charge. Big parking space. Nice washroom for changing wet cloths. Kids enjoy a lot. I recommend everyone to visit with your kids. You can celebrate kids birthday there. There is a special arrangement for that. The L’amoreaux park beside this water park has multiple hill tops and walking trails that will certainly thrill you.

    Lots of space for larger groups. Waterpark is fairly big and it has a huge water bucket and water slide. On site life guards available when the wading pool is open

    Parking gets a bit tricky and tendency to be super-packed with crowds (especially on weekends) but lots of fun water play for the kids (slides, splash pads, standing water guns, etc.). Plus, can't beat free lol There are staff monitoring different areas of the park and I believe that the water is treated every hour or so. We've been there a few times when everyone had to exit the water areas for cleaning so that was reassuring that they take measures to reduce yucky bacteria etc. Outside the water park, there are plenty of areas to dry off and a sand playground as well.

    Awesome little water park right here in the city. I came across this on Google search. It was a pleasant experience. The place opens at 10.30. We arrived at 12.00 and there were still parking available. The admission is FREE. The kids get a wristband according to age. Plenty of lifeguards keeping an eye on the kids, even for taking turns. Plenty of Picnic area surrounding the water park. The water gets a little dirty from kids going into the grass area and back, but it's not too bad. Didn't get to see the change rooms or washrooms to see how clean it was. I wish there were options for kids younger than 2 or some control as to the sections. The big kids were also in the wading pool and splashing about and the little ones didn't enjoy it as much. No pictures allowed due to children's safety and I am glad they were enforcing it. Overall, I completely recommend you take your kids.

    Bring your own grill kind of park, unlimited water park or splash for kids, play area, all kinds of sports and huge parking area that fills up quickly. Fun for entire family regardless of age. Clean restrooms too. Plenty of space for cook outs. A lot of activities possible, the rest is upto your imagination. Come one come all.

    My kids used to enjoy here but now it's overcrowded on weekends it's impossible to fit in all the people so they limit the number of people and make you wait outside the gate. They closed for two whole years of pandemic for renovation and then when opened there wasn't anything visible done. A large picnic area on the left side still has no shade and is useless and a waste of space because no one ever uses it. The strict regulations make it all boring. Last two times as soon as we got in we were told to get out because the park was closing because of thunder that was barely heard from far away. No cameras and any photography is allowed at all.

    This was the driest waterpark I've ever been to. Over half the water fixtures weren't operational, the slide and wading pool wasn't running, and the water level was at about 30% of what the park was designed for. There's also so much trash in the water and an abundant of lifeguards(the only positive) that didn't bother to clean it up (... Not their job?) Maybe it was an off day and my kid still enjoyed so I'll give it another try. But boy that didn't live up to my expectations from the photos.

    Coming from NYC this is amazing. A FREE Waterpark for the kids. Similar water tower and water slide you would see at Sesame Place or Great Wolf. Of course it's not 100% equivalent in maintenance or size but its FREE here! You get to the gate and the nice Employees/Life Gaurds give the kids a wrist band to identify age. There's clean washrooms for changing. I saw lockers too if you bring your own lock. There is one main slide and the water tower. A small wading pool for little ones. Water gun bikes (one was broken). There is also a person selling snacks there. Best of all free parking. I saw some birthday parties being held there. And the surrounding park for other activities.

    Kidstown water park staff seem to be just kids hanging out. If they don’t want to be there they should leave. No respect and no pride in what they do. No one seems to care that guests don’t follow the covid guidelines, they just let them truck on through. The “manager” is a tight lip silhouette of a man with no accountability for how terrible his staff are. Great job everyone maybe he should’ve won a gold medal too. Go Kanata!

    We love love love this park!! The current hardware is a bit old but it’s so much fun! With the big bucket pouring water and the slide and multiple water outlets that you can control the water spray. Great atmosphere with loud music. Feels like a big party! There are many lifeguards and staffs to monitor the kids. The trick is to get your kid out of the park lol No photo is allowed in the park to protect the kids so I won’t post any picture. The city is looking to renovate the park and I hope they don’t make it lame. 😆

    Was a lot of fun for the kids to play during the summer. There were lifeguards around. Water is cold so children sensetive to the cold will not like that. There was radio being played by the staff as background music, buit it was filled with comercials, which I guess locals are used to, but for me as a tourist it felt wrong to push all these comercials in a childrens park, would be better to put comercial-less music. Overall a good experience.

    Best Waterpark in Toronto! The playground and BBQ area beside the Waterpark is also fairly descent.

  • 5/5 Andrea G N. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a great place. Free to come, adjacent to a public park with a play ground and a soccer field. Been coming here since I was a child and now I get to bring my own child here as well - there is a splash pad structure with a tipping bucket, and a small slide into a baby/toddler friendly pool. Ample space for picnicking and the ability to BBQ on grounds is wonderful

  • 4/5 Christine Y. 8 months ago on Google
    Lots of parking but, come early spots are gone by noon if not before on a weekend. Staff enforce no photos, unless it’s your own kid and zoomed in which is nice. The main water play area is closed which is unfortunate but, the slide is open. The slide goes into the deep end of the wading pool, maybe 3 ft deep so, it’s important to stay near your little and catch them at the bottom l! It’s free, so can’t complain! I wish another park had as many features as this one!

  • 5/5 Arnold R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience small mountain, playground, parks for picnic and beautiful architectural water place what else should i ask for. This is the place i can smile and have fun withy family.

  • 5/5 Iris L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park for kids, reserve spot online or last minute drop in if available.

  • 5/5 Corey S. 2 years ago on Google
    We still have fun there all these years later. Although you have to wait in line, let's say you go in at 2pm, you have leave 15 mins before 3 for them to sanitize everything for the next group to come in after. You can always go back in line. I find it best to make sure to come with food or snacks for my children and I to eat. There's also pinic tables and a park right next door.

  • 5/5 Heinz S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Park and i like the safety precautions they provide.

  • 5/5 Vivek P. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place for kids and family outing.

  • 5/5 Yaraní R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great free place! Our kids and their friends loved it!! (6-7-8-12- and 15-year-olds) they liked it so much they decided to lineup during an aditional 20 min to be able to go for another 45 min. They where lucky and that's because I arrived late and wasn't allowed in. So, why not try to see if we got the chance to get back in? I got in the "show ups" line way before they came out from their turn and just made it in, with the kids not having to wait much. So keep in mind that during the Covid-19 Pandemic it is better to reserve your spot online. If you just show up (which you can) you won't be able to know for certain at what time you'll go in because of the capacity restrictions. Then again, if it is a fairly large group, you could take turns waiting in line while the rest of you engoy a jummy snack on the nearby picknick tables. It is really nice and sometimes you get canadian ducks to visit you.

    Great , my daughter had fun . Clean and they followed covid guidelines

  • 4/5 Rive R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to visit with the family. Lots of area to sit including cover areas. You are permitted to bring outside for in which is really nice. Pricing is okay, lots of parking including parking room for trailers which was great. Also a decent amount of camping sites in the area. For sure worth checking out.
