Inflatable water park coming to Sudbury in August
Sudbury -
A travelling inflatable water park is making a stop at Vermillion Lake Park in Chelmsford from Aug. 1-15.
Splash N Go Adventure Parks Ltd., a Sudbury-owned business, offers a mobile inflatable splash park that travels across Ontario, featuring a multi-course route system that allows for different challenge levels for participants.
"Suitable for ages 5 and up, this floating obstacle course is perfect for the whole family to enjoy," the company said in a news release Friday.
Due to COVID-19 protocols, the park will be hosting four sessions a day, each lasting 1.5 hours sessions, to allow for contact tracing and social distancing. Sessions will start at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Customers are encouraged to arrive 45 minutes before their booking to sign in and complete waivers.
Passes are available for $25 per person, per session and include full access to the inflatable park.
"As a result of the protocols in place and the limited capacity of the park, visitors are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets online prior to arrival in order to guarantee entry," the release said.
Passes will be available for purchase online as of July 14 via the Splash N Go website.
Correction
The location in Chelmsford is at Vermillion Lake Park, not Vermillion Lake Campground as originally stated.
