Summer is the season for barbeques, beaches and… boredom. Some of the most dreaded words a parent can hear are, “I’m bored. There’s nothing to do.” Despite having a toy closet packed with games and puzzles and a garage filled with bicycles and balls, children always seem to find a way to be bored. When this happens, do what I did and alert the residents of your home that “bored” (or any derivative thereof) is no longer a part of the English language. Not only is the word banned in our home, but the feeling is not allowed, either.

Last summer, my son Gordie and I visited all the official spray parks and wading pools in Calgary. They were each fun in their own way, and are all a little different.

Check out the spray parks and wading pools listed to determine if they are a good fit for your family’s summertime fun needs!
