A new floating waterpark is coming to Canada’s largest outdoor freshwater swimming pool the St. Marys’ Quarry. Town council has approved a new attraction called FunSplash which will be open to swimmers as of June 20, 2020. The inflatable sports park includes 25 different obstacles designed to challenge participants in a safe, outdoor environment. The addition of the FunSplash comes on the heels of a record year for the Quarry. Over 18,000 people visited the Quarry in 2019, and those numbers are expected to increase significantly this summer. “We are extremely excited to be offering this attraction at the Quarry,” said Stephanie Ische, Director of Community Services for the Town of St. Marys, adding, “The FunSplash will add a whole new dimension to the Quarry experience, and we can’t wait for patrons to try it out this summer.” Meanwhile, Kelly Deeks-Johnson, the Town’s Tourism and Economic Development Manager said, “We encourage all Quarry patrons to make the most of their time in St. Marys by exploring our vibrant downtown, visiting the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, or joining in the fun at one of our special events.”

The FunSplash is owned and operated by PT Watersports, a family-run business that has operated a similar attraction at Binbrook Conservation Area since 2018. The company saw the Quarry as the ideal spot for its second location. “St. Marys is a beautiful setting for the FunSplash. We feel that this attraction will complement the area very well and look forward to being a part of the community,” said Teresa Jackson, Marketing Director at PT Watersports.
