Big Splash is a waterpark in Canberra, Australia. It is located in the suburb of Macquarie and is the only waterpark in Canberra. It originally opened with a 50 Metre Pool with a kids pool at the end of it in the late 1960's.

It was initially Government owned and known as Macquarie Swimming pool, also often referred to as Jammo Pool. The slides were introduced in the early 1980's.

The current name for the facility is Big Splash Waterpark. It now has a total of seven water slides - the Family Slide and the Kamikaze slide that extend downwards from the top of Splash Tower, The Hurricane Twins that begin at the Splash Viewing Platform. Big Splash includes a children's area called Splash Island which includes 3 slides and playing area. There is the Yellow Bubble pool for toddlers, which has two small water slides landing into shallow water. There is also a Learn to Swim Pool and a 50 Metre Pool.

Big Splash also has a dry Inflatable Obstacle Course for Children, and wet Inflatable Obstacle Courses for Adults and Children. In 2011 an additional two slides will be added to the water park; the Speed Coaster Raft Ride and the Twister speed slide. These were bought from Wet n Wild Water World on the Gold Coast.

The facility is closed over winter and is only open from November to March.
