South Florida’s public water parks and its premier commercial water park are open and bustling with visitors until schools reopen in Martin and Palm Beach counties on August 10. Even after the summer season ends, the fun doesn’t stop. Thanks to South Florida’s warm climate, most water parks remain open year-round, typically operating on weekends during the cooler months.
The 64-meter competition pool includes 25-yard lanes and a movable bulkhead, making it ideal for Olympic-style competitions, swim and dive meets, water polo, synchronized swimming, and more. On the recreation side, visitors can enjoy a zero-depth entry pool with an interactive play structure, Florida’s first NinjaCross retractable obstacle course, lounge chairs, and rentable cabanas. The facility also includes concession stands, locker rooms, restrooms, changing areas, and a multipurpose room.
