Splash Zone
Take your water fight from the beach to one of our three splash parks — two in Cold Lake and one in Bonnyville. When the weather turns cool and rainy, head indoors for some pool fun.
From lake to land, there are no shortages of ways to keep cool at Kinosoo Beach in Cold Lake (1902-1st Avenue). Wait for the big SPLASH of water wheel bucket in the splash park, or enjoy three blocks of one of the best beaches in Canada. Looking for a thrill? Take a turn on the zip line, that drops you straight into the lake. Grab lunch or a snack at the concession located near the playground.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s a splash park? Take a turn sitting on the propeller plane that is part of the splash park at 4 Wing Cold Lake, located behind the Col. J.J. Parr Sports Centre. Remember to look up as the real jets soar overhead. Bring a lunch and take shade in the picnic shelter or under the giant sunshade at the playground. Get a workout in at the outdoor gym by the sand volleyball court.
With lots of room to run, you can cool down at the Bonnyville Splash Park (4100 Lakeshore Drive) featuring the iconic giant moose. Once you get tired of the water, a family cycle on the Jessie Lake Trail gives you a nice change of scenery.
Moving indoors, the Bonnyville Swimming Pool features a 25-metre main pool and a three-metre by five-metre teaching pool, hot tub, and sauna. Check the Town’s website for schedules town.bonnyville.ab.ca or call 780-826-4065. Located at 4712-48 St.
The J.J. Parr Sports Centre Pool at 4 Wing Cold Lake, has a six-lane pool with a rope swing and diving boards. Leave a few minutes to warm up in the sauna after your swim is done. For programming details call 780-8408000 ext. 7823.
