Bring a towel . You’ll need it this weekend in Transcona.

TRANSCONA is happy! It’s home to the city’s first Water Park. Big crowds predicted for Friday’s Ribbon Cutting and FREE admission will mean the place will be packed!

Located at the corner of Kildare East and Wabasha , this first for Winnipeg  facility , promises to be a hit! Seven million dollars were poured into the project to create a state of the art venue. Children will line up at 4 water slides , there’s shallow entry with mini geysers and water spray features for tiny ones , an expanded spray pad, shaded sails and picnic areas with change rooms and lockers nearby. Inclement weather means operations can proceed indoors to the Transcona Centennial Pool. FREE admission will continue Friday, Saturday and Sunday until maximum capacity is reached.
