Launch Event Details
The City of White Rock will officially open its newest recreational feature — an accessible splash pad at Centennial Park — at noon on Tuesday, August 19. The public is invited to attend and experience the facility on its first day of operation.
Location and Design Features
Situated beside the Generations Playground at 14600 North Bluff Road, the splash pad is built for people of all ages and abilities. It includes a spray cannon, a large dumping bucket, ground-level sprays, and a spray tunnel for interactive water play.
Community and Funding Support
The project was made possible through donations and endorsements from the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation and the White Rock Firefighters Charity Association, both long-time supporters of local community initiatives.

Work on the splash pad began in late April, led by GPM Civil Contracting Inc. The project was completed ahead of schedule earlier this month, allowing for a summer launch.
Civic Perspective
Mayor Megan Knight described the splash pad as a reflection of White Rock’s values of inclusivity, community connection, and play. “We’re proud to provide a space where residents and visitors can enjoy the outdoors and make lasting memories,” she said.
Purpose and Impact
City officials say the splash pad adds to White Rock’s recreational amenities, encouraging year-round community engagement and offering a safe, fun space for residents and visitors alike.
