Whether it is riding a bike along quiet streets, spending time with friends at the splash pad, or joining in on some fun at the arena, Bluewater is a great place to be a kid! With plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to play and grow, children of all ages are never short on entertainment, exercise, and community.
