Peterborough, ON – With warm temperatures in the forecast, the City of Peterborough is keeping splash pads open until Sunday, September 22, 2024. Splash pads were originally scheduled to close for the season on September 3, 2024.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer our splash pad facilities for an extended season, providing families with more opportunities to cool down and have fun as our summer season winds down,” said Councillor Lesley Parnell and Councillor Gary Baldwin, Community Services (Recreation and Parks, Fire Services, and Arenas) Portfolio Co-Chairs, in a joint statement.
The City operates seven splash pads in parks, open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., at the following locations:
- King Edward Park at 455 George St. S.
- Nicholls Oval at 725 Armour Rd.
- Rogers Cove at 131 Maria St.
- Kinsmen Park at 1 Kinsmen Way
- Barnardo Park on Barnardo Avenue north of Sunset Boulevard
- Turner Park at the corner of Chamberlain and High streets
- Hamilton Park at 575 Bonaccord St.
- Water feature at Quaker Foods City Square, 215 Charlotte St.
Splash pads are closed before the fall when temperatures tend to drop at night as the water systems, including the pipes, need to be prepared to avoid freezing and damage through the cold weather between fall and spring.
Beaches at Beavermead Park and Rogers Cove are not supervised at this time. The City’s summer lifeguard program ended on August 25, 2024. Residents are reminded to use extra caution around the water if visiting the beaches.
