Wildrye Splash Pad opens for the 2025 season

Today, May 23, 2025, the City of Wrenford officially opens the Wildrye Splash Pad for the 2025 season. Families in the Wildrye neighbourhood now have a free, shaded spot to cool off and play while staying safe in the water.

The splash pad is open seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Water is tested regularly to meet provincial health standards. For details on how we keep the water clean and safe, see the water quality reports and monitoring page.

As temperatures rise, residents should plan their visits carefully. The splash pad uses recycled water, but families should still follow outdoor water guidelines. You can find tips on outdoor water restrictions and guidelines and how to save water in your home on the Water & Wastewater section of the City website.

"We are thrilled to welcome families back to Wildrye Park this season," said Fiona Gallagher, General Manager of Community Services. "Our Parks and Recreation team works closely with Water Operations to ensure the spray features run smoothly and safely all summer long. We encourage parents and caregivers to supervise children at all times and bring plenty of water and sunscreen."
