When the lazy, hazy days of summer hit, it can be a challenge to keep kids occupied. Thankfully, Ottawa is home to a wide variety of free or budget conscious, family-friendly activities, including library programming, public pools (indoor and outdoor), wading pools and splash pads.

At Team Elder Home Sales, we have discovered many families looking to buy a home in Ottawa are drawn to areas replete with a splash pad. They provide the perfect outlet for parents, grandparents and caregivers who want to give kids a chance to cool off. Thankfully, the City of Ottawa has made it easy for visitors, home buyers and residents to locate the growing number of splash pads around the region.
