 The Variety Kids Water Park is Vancouver's
largest outdoor spray facility and offers hours worth of
summer fun especially for young children and families.
Not a
swimming pool but rather a series of water geysers and
canons that surprise users at every turn, the ankle depth
water and other specially designed features make this an
accessible facility for all children.

Water Park Attractions
|
 Lumbermen's
Arch is one of several areas around Stanley Park that is
quite kid oriented. The arch itself is made from the trunk
of a huge tree and kids love to climb all over it.
You’ll also find park washrooms here and a
convenient concession stand or if you prefer there’s lots of
grassy area for stretching out to relax and enjoying a
packed lunch.

Water Park Lumbermen's History
|
| This area was once the site of one of the park's two draw
& fill pools. Once a week high tides were captured by the
pool's locking gates only to be spilled back at week's end
and refilled with fresh sea water. Generations of
Vancouverites took swimming lessons here under the
Vancouver Sun Newspaper's Learn To Swim program, so
popular in the early days. |
