Safety violations
During a one-month period in the summer of 2011, there were 10 injuries on Steamer, two of which resulted in spinal injuries. In all cases, the park failed to shut down the ride and did not report the incidents until the end of the season in September.

On June 19, 2012, employees on Orange Bobsleigh prematurely sent a group of riders down the slide resulting in a collision between two tubes causing a rider to be thrown out of the slide onto to the concrete below, knocking him unconscious.

In August 2012, an excess amount of chlorine was discharge into Calypso Palace sickening 20 people, 13 of whom had to be taken to hospital. Later that day, a power outage caused another discharge of chlorine into the pool, resulting in two more hospitalizations.

On April 13, 2015, Calypso Park was found guilty of six of the eleven charges it faced under Ontario's Technical Standards and Safety Act. They were fined $400,000 and forced to pay an additional $100,000 victim surcharge.
