Raffaella Ambrosino

This park it is really nice and good for family and any age kids.

D Malcom Smith

Waterworks park in St Thomas is a child friendly park with safe clean equipment to play on. Theres equipment and a water/splash pad in which my children would be there all day playing if they could. It has plenty of parking and differently abled persons would really enjoy its easy access. Take a roll on that forty five degree angle to get way down to Waterworks park. Is an afternoon of pure fun. Luv Malcom💪😎💛Stay strong St Thomas.

Oksana Vlas

very beautiful park with paths around the lake and places to relax. You can walk around the whole lake in a couple of hours. walk only in good weather, many trails turn into impenetrable mud. .

Dan&Heather Hooper

Love this clean, welcoming park. Lots of variety for kids of all ages. The added bonus is the gorgeous walking area... I just wish there was more sidewalked pathes.

Before you hire a pool builder in Ontario

Pool building itself is not a licensed trade, but the electrical work is, and the enclosure permit is mandatory.

Municipal pool enclosure permit

Required in essentially every Ontario municipality, usually before excavation begins. Bylaws specify fence height, gate self-closing and self-latching hardware, and how soon the enclosure must be in place. Enforcement is real and the liability if a child accesses an unfenced pool is severe.

Verify with: Your municipality's building or bylaw department.

ESA notification for pool electrical and bonding

Pool electrical must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor, and the metal structure must be bonded. This requires an ESA notification and inspection.

Verify with: The Electrical Safety Authority, esasafe.com.

Utility locates before excavation

Legally required. Gas and hydro service lines cross yards at unpredictable depths.

Verify with: Ontario One Call.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Excavation near a house foundation carries real risk. Confirm coverage amounts.

Questions worth asking

  • What is the total installed cost including electrical, gas, decking, fencing and landscape restoration?
  • Who pulls the enclosure permit, and when must the fence be up relative to excavation?
  • Which licensed electrical contractor are you using, and will I receive the ESA Certificate of Acceptance?
  • What is the realistic installation window, and what happens if it slips past the season?
  • How is my deposit protected, and what is refundable if you cannot start?
