Rocky Point Spray Park
I could not find information about Rocky Point Spray Park’s [map] opening or hours. Typically, it opens on the Victoria Day long weekend and operates daily through the summer, weather permitting. For more specific information, you can reach the City of Port Moody at 604.469.4500.
Happy splashing!
I was talking to the guys doing the painting at Rocky Point water park on Wednesday and they said it would be opening late due to some re-painting.
Thanks for posting this list. We’ll be trying to tour all the outdoor pools in Tri-Cities this summer.
Thanks for the info, Kirsten! Luckily, there are a lot of other spray parks to choose from opening in the next few days.
