About the Venue

Ontario Splash Park is a seasonal splash park at Lions Park operated by the Ontario Recreation District. The city highlights multiple water features for children plus family-friendly extras such as shade structures, lounge chairs, bathrooms, vending machines, and phone-charging stations. Unlike many free municipal splash pads, this one uses a low-cost admission model for ages 7 and older and offers private rentals, shade-canopy reservations, and an adjacent event room. Its setup makes it one of the more structured splash outings in Eastern Oregon.
