Splash Island Waterpark


Splash Island is an adventure water park for all ages! Take a wild ride down the giant waterslides - “Splash Attack” or “Funnel Tunnel”. Younger children may want to try the kiddie slide “Bubble Gum Run” and a fun spray area.  There are aesthetic fountains and mini geysers, a relaxing bubbler bench situated near a miniature waterfall all surrounded by the natural beauty of Island Park.  The water park also features three 25 meter swimming lanes, a lazy river, decorative non-slip decking and a zero-depth beach-like entry.
