Calypso Waterpark: Park reopens after chemical odour closes park on Tuesday [Video]

Calypo Waterpark has reopened on Wednesday after a strong chemical odour forced the closure of the park on Tuesday.

Families visiting the popular attraction were sent home on Wednesday morning as a precaution following a chlorine delivery.

“Early this morning during a routine chlorine delivery we closed the waterpark for an inspection following an odour detection,” said a spokesperson for Calypso in a statement to CTV News on Tuesday afternoon.

“As always, the safety of our guests, employees and contractors is our top priority.”

Ontario Provincial Police said on social media site X that they were aware of the unexpected closure and had asked the public to avoid the area due to heavy traffic.

Calypso is located about 45 kilometres southeast of Ottawa.
