The Rainbow Park Splash Pad, located in the South End’s Lower Cove Loop, began operations in June 2011, with its official launch in July by the City of Saint John and community stakeholders P.U.L.S.E., the Boys & Girls Club and the South End Community Centre.

The $1.2 million dollar project is just phase one of the Rainbow Park development; a new garden shed for the community garden, removal of rusted fencing around the tennis courts, and an upgraded basketball court are all part of the plan.

Water gun stations, fountains and spouts, bucket-dumping stations and a colourful mist-spraying rainbow arc are all part of the new pad, which will double as a skating rink in the winter months.

The park is open daily from 10am – 8pm.
