Philip Ruddock Water Playground

Dundas · Hills District$ · Free water play.

This free water play spot in Dundas Park makes an easy family outing, with fountains, tipping buckets, water jets and interactive splash features, plus a playground right beside it. The water playground operates September–May, 9am–8pm.

There’s plenty to explore beyond the splash zone, including a huge oval, open space, picnic areas, BBQs and walking paths. Public toilets, a refillable water station and a street library are also available.

For a play-and-brunch combo, Daisy’s by the Park is a short walk across the park, serving all-day breakfast, lunch, coffee, pastries, sweets and grab-and-go options.
