New waterpark at Kelso Conservation Area in Milton opening soon

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

“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. “The 50 x170-foot floating waterpark will allow more than 100 guests to play on the attraction at a time. It is going to be the place to be with family and friends on hot summer days!”

The Kelso Cove Waterpark has more than two dozen fun features and obstacles to climb, bounce, jump, and slide on.

The floating island is fully supervised by lifeguards with a National Lifeguard Certification.

Swimmers ages 5 and older who meet the minimum height requirement of 48-inches-tall can play on the waterpark after completing a 40-foot swim test, wearing a Kelso Cove lifejacket and listening to the safety briefing.

Lifejackets and appropriate swimwear need to be worn and guests must be barefoot while they navigate their way through the waterpark.

Starting Saturday, June 29, the waterpark will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with timeslots throughout the day to book, the last being at 5 p.m. To avoid disappointment, it is recommended to prebook your visit online in advance.

The attraction joins a list of other activities available at the Conservation Halton park. Visitors can plan a full day of fun at the park including boat rentals, swimming, hiking, mountain biking, disc golf, picnicking, challenge course (including aerial ropes, climbing tower and archery), and more.
