Canada Day

Canada Day is always our biggest event of the year, and our goal is to make 2025 even more memorable than years past!

Enjoy inflatables, miniature train ride, rock climbing wall, laser tag, mini golf, human foosball, dunk tank, shows by Little Ray's and Junkyard Symphony, toddler zone, live DJ, face painting, balloon clowns, and more!

Food trucks will be on site again this year. We will also have snacks and drinks available for purchase at our fieldhouse canteen next to the splash pad. Please note that the canteen is cash only.

Fun passes for unlimited access to the rides and entertainment only cost $16 in advance (or $18 at the event, cash only) for ages 3+. Individuals not going on rides and toddlers under 3 years old are free. Advance passes

Join us at Claudette Cain Park on July 1 for a professional fireworks display sponsored by the Riverside South Limited Partnership (Urbandale, Richcraft, and HN Homes)!

Enjoy music starting at 8 pm and fireworks will begin at dusk (approx. 10 pm).

Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at the fieldhouse in the south field (cash only). Glow products will be available for purchase (cash only) in both the south and north fields.

Parking is very limited on site and we recommend either walking to the park or parking at nearby lots.

We’re thrilled to welcome back The Marketplace to this year’s Canada Day celebration! Nestled in the scenic park area between the gazebo and the fieldhouse, the Marketplace has grown to showcase even more of our amazing community.

Explore Unique Finds from Local Crafters: Acrylics, Harbour Star Handmade & Miss Vincent Bespoke, Beppe’s Place, Easy‐resin, Jessica's Pottery, Crafty Creations, Firescape Candles, Emo Toad Ami Design, Alice in Woofland, The Gemstone Collective, Aurora and Holly, and Mosquito Point.

Plus, visit our Info Booths: City of Ottawa Councillor Steve Desroches, Cardel Homes, Selina’s Dance Studio, Hippo in the Bathtub, and Orchard Walk Retirement Community.

Come support local talent, discover one-of-a-kind items, and connect with community organizations. See you there!

Volunteer to take a 30 minute shift and raise money for your favourite charity, team or group!

Canada Day event attendees will have the opportunity to purchase throws to dunk their favourite person. 100% of the money raised by each person will go to support whatever they wish - it could be your child's sports team or school, a local charity that's near and dear to you, anything you like!

Spread the word to your family and friends about the time slot you pick and get ready for some fun in the sun!

Events like this don't happen without the wonderful support of our volunteers. We have over 200 spots to fill, and as a thank you, our volunteers get free food for themselves and free fun passes for their kids/siblings.

High school students: this is a great opportunity to rack up some community volunteer hours!
