Discover The Forks National Historic Site’s playground—Fort Parka! Located just behind the Children's Museum, Parks Canada welcomes you to come swing and slide your way around the playground, then cool off in the summer heat at the splash pad. Join interpreters at The Forks this summer to play, learn and explore with Parks Canada's mascot, Parka!

Splash Pad open July & August!

The splash pad is open during the summer, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
