Great news: the Nathan Runions Memorial Splash Pad is back up and running just in time for the sunshine.🌞

Yesterday our Parks and Recreation staff noticed the splash pad wasn’t working quite right.

An electrical issue was causing the underground valves (that turn the fun water features on and off) to malfunction.

Thanks to staff for quickly diagnosing the problem and fixing it up so the kids can get back out and play.

Parks and Recreation staff will keep an eye on things over the next few days.

In the meantime, if you notice something isn’t working right, please reach out to Manager Jeff Young at [email protected] or 613-472-2410.

Move over, traditional BBQ. The Blackstone has entered the chat. 🔥🍔

Whether you’re a pro or a beginner, our outdoor griddle makes cooking for the whole family a total breeze.

From morning pancakes (my personal favorite!) to a backyard feast, here’s how to master it during your stay at Crowe River Retreat:

✨ Pro Tip: Keep the lid OPEN while cooking. The griddle is designed for open-air, high-heat perfection!

✨ Pro Tip: Use the "Zone" method. Keep the center hot for searing steaks and the edges cool for warming up your veggies or finished food.

✨ Pro Tip: Always finish with a very thin layer of oil on the surface after cleaning to keep it prepped for the next cook.

✨The "Smash" Secret: For the perfect burger, form your ground beef into loose balls, place them on the hot surface, and smash them flat. That crispy, caramelized crust is everything.

Need a quick refresher on how to get started or how to keep it clean? We’ve got the full guide waiting for you here: https://www.croweriverretreat.ca/blog/master-blackstone-griddle

There’s something about being on the water that just resets everything.

But if you’ve never kayaked, canoed, or paddle boarded before… it can feel a little intimidating at first.

The truth? It’s way easier than it looks.

Once you know a few basics (and what to actually expect), it quickly goes from “I don’t know about this…” to “why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Whether you’re:
• Trying a kayak for the first time
• Loading the kids into a canoe
• Or finally giving paddle boarding a shot

This is your simple, no-stress starting point.
A few things that make a big difference: – Wind matters more than you think (go into it first)
– Mornings = calmer, easier water
– You don’t need to go far to enjoy it
– And yes… you might get a little wet (especially on a paddle board 😅)

You don’t need perfect technique.
You just need to start.
And once you do—it becomes second nature fast.

👉 Or someone who says they “never would”
