Floating waterpark makes its debut in Milton, Ontario

An inflatable island with more than two dozen features and obstacles opens this weekend at Milton’s Kelso Conservation Area.

The Kelso Cove Waterpark will have 26 different features and obstacles to climb, bounce, jump, and slide on and allow more than 100 guests to play at any given time.

“It’s great, one of the best water parks I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to many of them,” said one guest who got a chance at a sneak preview earlier this week.

Guests who are at least 5-years-old and over 4-feet tall can participate after passing a swimming twist wearing an approved lifejacket and receiving a safety briefing. Once inside, lifejackets and appropriate swimwear need to be worn and guests must be barefoot while they navigate their way through the waterpark.

The floating island will be supervised by lifeguards.

“At our parks, we’re always looking for new opportunities to get people active outdoors and Kelso Cove Waterpark promises to do just that,” said Craig Machan, director, Parks & Operations at Conservation Halton.
