Now that the summer heat has finally arrived in the city, Torontonians are flocking to the outdoor pools and beaches for some relief.
If you’re looking for something a little different, this gigantic floating playground that looks like a real-life game show obstacle course should definitely be added to your summer itinerary.
Located just over an hour outside of Toronto, FunSplash Sports Park in the Binbrook Conservation Area is a sprawling water park that offers a refreshing escape from the city. Spanning over 170 feet in length, this giant inflatable playground is packed with more than 25 unique obstacles designed to let you climb, jump, swing, and slide your way through the summer.
Now open for its 8th summer, the giant floating grid of state-of-the-art Wibit structures that challenges your balance and agility. Guests can test their skills by scaling inflatable walls, navigating the slippery paths of the Curve, or simply launching themselves into the lake from towering platforms like the Ice Tower.
The high-energy course caters to attendees of all ages, and while it’s a paradise for kids aged six and up, adults are encouraged to unleash their inner child and take on the challenge too. For the youngest splashers aged four to six, a dedicated “Happy Splash” kids’ zone features smaller obstacles in shallower water.
Safety is the park’s top priority, so while you can conquer the course at your own pace, every participant is required to wear a life jacket provided with admission. Certified lifeguards are also stationed across the floating modules to ensure a safe and friendly outdoor environment.
The Details
Two-hour splash passes start at $28 and now include a pair of handy Aqua Socks to help you grip the slick inflatables. For those looking to maximize their beach day, all-day passes are available in limited quantities starting at $38. It is highly recommended to book your time slot online in advance and complete the electronic waiver before you arrive, as the park follows strict capacity limits to keep lines short and the fun moving.
Beyond the inflatables, the surrounding Binbrook Conservation Area features a large sandy beach, scenic hiking trails, and plenty of green space. Visitors are welcome to bring beach umbrellas, shade tents, and charcoal BBQs to set up a scenic lakeside picnic – a perfect way to recharge after an unforgettable afternoon of splashing.
The FunSplash Sports Park is located at 5050 Harrison Rd. in Binbrook, just 20 minutes south of Hamilton, and is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. throughout the summer season until Labour Day. Please note that a separate park admission fee is required at the conservation area gate.
