Thank you for considering Confederation Beach Park Wild Waterworks, to host your 2018 summer picnic event.
Wild Waterworks are conveniently located just off the QEW in Hamilton, Wild Waterworks is home to one of Canada's largest outdoor wave pools. Ride the four tube slides: Night Rider, Blue Demon, Vertigo and Sidewinder. The fun continues with the heart-pounding twists of the Corkscrew and the Kamikaze - the park's six-storey body slides.
Prefer a more relaxing day? Spend some time floating along the Eazy River. Toddlers and small children will have a great time at Little Squirt Works, a fun wading pool with slides, mists and fountains.
