The Shipyards Splash Park in North Vancouver is now open to the public. The 8,000-square-foot-water play area, one of the biggest in Metro Vancouver, will be open until September 5.
“The Shipyards Splash Park is a perfect way for kids and families to cool off during the summer months. Pack a lunch and enjoy the water views from one of the picnic tables, or grab food at any of the restaurants or shops located in the Shipyards. Washroom facilities are available on-site,” says City of North Vancouver.
Though Squamish doesn’t have a splash park, but the District is planning one at the Brennan Park. A splash park in the next five years at the Brennan Park is one among the district’s short-term goals for the recreation centre. It would cost anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million to build such a park, according to a staff report.
If you are going to the Shipyards to enjoy the splash park, here are some rules that City of North Vancouver wants you to keep in mind.
