Read more about this location

The Columbia River water feature at Vancouver Waterfront Park is a family-friendly splash spot built into one of Vancouver's most popular riverfront parks. The play area includes artistic water mapping, fountains, cascading water, and wading zones, with benches nearby for supervising adults. It works especially well for pairing a short splash stop with a stroll, playground time, or a meal along the waterfront. Expect a highly visible public setting rather than a fenced neighborhood spray ground.
