Hooray, summer is here! It’s time for carefree afternoons under the sun, family picnics in the park – and of course, visits to the water park. These local water and spray parks we’ve rounded up are free to visit and have public bathrooms nearby (an essential for a seamless kid outing). Check out this handy map to see which ones are near you. We hope you have a chance to hit up a few this summer.
Vancouver water parks
Granville Island Water Park (Vancouver West)
