There are many different water features perfect for all levels of bravery. Some kids are happy squatting over a little ground spout, others bravely stand under the water tower and run through the green frog.

Our kids LOVE the imaginative play that is cultivated at the water park. Water trickles down ramps, encounters kid-controlled blockages, sprays out of the top of rocks, and comes out of a pump. The kids can work together to move the water, or work independently figuring out a mechanism on their own. The water park is HUGE and can accommodate a vast number of children. The biggest challenge? Keeping track of which kid is yours! The playground encircles the water park. There are a number of play structures scattered around giving ample space for kids to play. Big disc swings, slides, climbing structures, and more keep the kids busy when they are done with the water park. Parents will like the shade provided by the big trees, and the many picnic spots &amp; tables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Parents Can Find It<\/strong>: 250 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby<\/p>\n<h3>#4 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coquitlam.ca\/parks-recreation-and-culture\/parks-and-trails\/park-finder\/blue-mountain-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blue Mountain Park<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_314070\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coquitlam.ca\/parks-recreation-and-culture\/parks-and-trails\/park-finder\/blue-mountain-park\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314070\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Blue-Mountain-Park-spray-park.jpg\" alt=\"Best Playground Water Park Combos: Blue Mountain Park Coquitlam\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Blue-Mountain-Park-spray-park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Blue-Mountain-Park-spray-park-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Blue-Mountain-Park-spray-park-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coquitlam.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City of Coquitlam<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_314071\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coquitlam.ca\/parks-recreation-and-culture\/parks-and-trails\/park-finder\/blue-mountain-park\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314071\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Blue-Mountain-Park-playground.jpg\" alt=\"Best Playground Water Park Combos: Blue Mountain Park Coquitlam\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Blue-Mountain-Park-playground.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Blue-Mountain-Park-playground-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Blue-Mountain-Park-playground-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314071\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coquitlam.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City of Coquitlam<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What Kids Love<\/strong>: Nestled in amongst the trees the recently updated Blue Mountain Park playground offers fun for all ages. The roller-slide is super cool, as are the whimsical creatures tucked into the play structures. The life-size horses, from the original Blue Mountain playground, are still there waiting to be climbed upon by a new generation. We love the mini bike circuit at the park. Kids can practice road-safety while far away from real traffic. There is an awesome, and huge, rope climbing portion of the playground. This section is perfect for kids aged 6+ years. The water park was re-done about 3 years ago and now offers many different types of play: sprayers, bubblers, water squirters and more. Blue Mountain Park is very large and the play zones are rather spread out. Families will definitely need to agree upon where kids can play and, with the little ones, plan on moving as a group from one play area to the next. On the plus side, the play zones being spread out enables many kids to play without everyone feeling crowded and overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Parents Can Find It<\/strong>:\u00a0975 King Albert Ave, Coquitlam<\/p>\n<h3>#5 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/sapperton-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sapperton Park<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-314049\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Climbing-fun-Sapperton-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Climbing structures at Sapperton Park Adventure Park - Lindsay Follett\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Climbing-fun-Sapperton-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Climbing-fun-Sapperton-Park-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Climbing-fun-Sapperton-Park-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-314050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Water-Park-Sapperton-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Water Park at Sapperton Park - Lindsay Follett\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Water-Park-Sapperton-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Water-Park-Sapperton-Park-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Water-Park-Sapperton-Park-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>What Kids Love<\/strong>:\u00a0Sapperton Park has received a complete renovation in 2017.

Kids are running everywhere, climbing, swinging, sliding themselves into a sweaty, red-cheeked, smiling state. The parents are able to relax in charming red Adirondack chairs or perch on the low cement walls. Definitely bring a change of clothes and a towel when coming to this park. The kids are going to be covered head to toe in wet sand&#8230;but they&#8217;ll be exhausted &amp; smiling!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Parents Can Find It<\/strong>: 351 E Columbia Street, New Westminster<\/p>\n<h3>#6 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portmoody.ca\/index.aspx?page=272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rocky Point Park<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_314068\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.portmoody.ca\/index.aspx?page=272\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314068\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Rocky-Point-Park-spray.jpg\" alt=\"Best Playground Water Park Combos: Rocky Point Park\" width=\"800\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Rocky-Point-Park-spray.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Rocky-Point-Park-spray-600x333.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Rocky-Point-Park-spray-768x426.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314068\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portmoody.ca\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City of Port Moody<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What Kids Love<\/strong>: Rocky Point Park is frequently voted a top playground in Metro Vancouver. Aside from the stunning geographic location (right along Burrard Inlet), the playground and water park have lots to offer kids. The water park is train-themed. There are painted train tracks, a train crossing sign, &#8220;tunnels&#8221; to chug through, and is backed by a train-station looking building (that&#8217;s where you can find the oh-so-important washrooms). Right beside the beloved water park is a boat-themed playground. The massive boat structure invites kids to get creative in how they play. Friendships and alliances are formed surprisingly quickly during endless games of &#8220;pirate&#8221;. Parents will enjoy the picnic tables with a view of the water, the side-by-side layout of the playground and water park, and the beautiful walks throughout Rocky Point Park.

The playground has many zones for playing: making music, spinning, ziplining, tire-climbing, and a pretty fantastic playground with slides &amp; climbing options. The water park is located right beside the playground and has many in-ground features making it less scary for the little kids. This water park is good for kids who don&#8217;t like water pouring down from above. There is also a spectacular sand-digging zone. A water chute runs through the middle of the sand zone and kids have a blast making all sorts of sandy mess. Be sure to bring your own digging tools (and a towel to clean those kids off afterwards). Adjacent to the park is the fanciest park-bathroom I&#8217;ve ever encountered. When we visited the facilities were spotless. Lions Park also has many spots for picnics including a covered picnic area. There are lots of big trees around providing ample shade for parents and kids needing to cool down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Parents Can Find It<\/strong>:\u00a02300 Lions Way, Port Coquitlam<\/p>\n<h3>#8 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surrey.ca\/culture-recreation\/2083.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bear Creek Park<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_314066\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surrey.ca\/culture-recreation\/2083.aspx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314066\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Bear-Creek-Park-water-park.jpg\" alt=\"Best Playground Water Park Combos: Bear Creek Park spray park\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Bear-Creek-Park-water-park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Bear-Creek-Park-water-park-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Bear-Creek-Park-water-park-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314066\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surrey.ca\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City of Surrey<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_314067\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.surrey.ca\/culture-recreation\/2083.aspx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314067\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Bear-Creek-Park-Spray-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Best Playground Water Park Combos: Bear Creek Park\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Bear-Creek-Park-Spray-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Bear-Creek-Park-Spray-Park-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Bear-Creek-Park-Spray-Park-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surrey.ca\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City of Surrey<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What Kids Love<\/strong>: The play area at Bear Creek Park is massive! There is a little kid playground (good for kids aged 6 years &amp; under), a big kid playground, an outdoor workout set up, and a positively huge water spray park. While there aren&#8217;t a ton of seats immediately around the playground, there are picnic tables across the pathway, and there is lots of grass to spread your picnic blanket upon. You can truly enjoy a full day at Bear Creek Park because in addition to the playgrounds &amp; water park, families can: play a round of mini-golf, take a ride on the miniature train, wander the beautiful gardens, and go for a swim in the outdoor pool. There is very little reason to plan anything else when you decide to spend the day at Bear Creek Park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Parents Can Find It<\/strong>:\u00a013820 88 Ave, Surrey<\/p>\n<h3>#9 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.richmond.ca\/parks\/parks\/about\/amenities\/Park.aspx?ID=46&amp;I=0&amp;J=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steveston Community Park<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_314037\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.richmond.ca\/parks\/parks\/about\/amenities\/park.aspx?ID=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314037\" class=\"wp-image-314037 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Steveston-Water-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Best Playground Water Park Combos: Steveston Community Park\" width=\"800\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Steveston-Water-Park.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Steveston-Water-Park-600x356.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Steveston-Water-Park-768x455.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314037\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.richmond.ca\/home.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City of Richmond<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_314038\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.richmond.ca\/parks\/parks\/about\/amenities\/park.aspx?ID=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314038\" class=\"wp-image-314038 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Steveston-Playground.jpg\" alt=\"Best Playground Water Park Combos: Steveston Community Park, Richmond\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Steveston-Playground.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Steveston-Playground-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/vancouver\/files\/2017\/06\/Steveston-Playground-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.richmond.ca\/home.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City of Richmond<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What Kids Love<\/strong>: There is so much to do at the 30 acre Steveston Community Park.
