Variety Kids Water Park in Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC, Canada
The Variety Kids Water Park in Stanley Park in Vancouver is a large FREE outdoor spray water park that is a great place for children to have fun, get wet and cool off!
NOTE: The Water Park has NOT re-opened in 2022. There is a sign up that it will be closed until a 'review of options for remediation is complete'.
The water park is unsupervised so parents need to keep an eye on their children.
The water park consists of different fixtures that shoot water up in the air or on you in many directions. Additionally, there is a large rock structure, called the Fox's Den, that children can go into and climb on!
Dates open: Closed in 2022.
Times open: closed
Nearby is the The Lumbermen's Arch food concession is close by and there are some picnic tables and a large grass area where you can picnic. There are washrooms nearby also.
Prior to the water park being built in 1987, there was a sea-water filled swimming pool at this location for about 50 years.
