Splash Pad opens at Kelso Beach Owen Sound Friday

The Good Cheer Splash Pad at Kelso Beach at Nawash Park in Owen Sound opens for the season on Friday, May 20, 2022.

The splash pad is great way to stay cool on a hot humid day, and all summer long. It will be open every day from 9 a.m. to dusk with no admission fee.

The Good Cheer Splash Pad opened in 2011 thanks to a donation from the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer and an Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant.
