Splash City Water Park

Splash City Water Park — Water Slides and Family Fun in Washington, Utah

Splash City Water Park is Southern Utah's destination water park, providing Washington County families, summer visitors, and the growing population of St. George and surrounding communities with an exhilarating aquatic escape from the region's intense summer heat. The water park concept was made for Southern Utah — a region where summer temperatures regularly exceed 105 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks at a stretch, outdoor activities are limited to early morning hours for much of June, July, and August, and families with active children need exactly the kind of cooling, high-energy, socially engaging experience that a full-scale water park delivers. Splash City has invested in the attractions, amenities, and guest experience infrastructure that make it worth the drive from across Washington County and beyond — with enough variety to occupy a full day, enough thrill for teenagers, enough gentleness for toddlers, and the cabana and food service infrastructure that allows families to make a genuine day of it.

Water Slides and Thrill Rides

The water slide complex at Splash City spans the full spectrum of thrill levels — from the towering speed slides that drop riders nearly vertically before launching them across a runout splash area, through the enclosed tube slides where darkness, twisting turns, and sudden drops create sustained excitement, to the mat racer slides where groups of four can compete head-to-head down parallel lanes with genuine racing drama. The park's signature multi-story slide tower centralizes the major slides to eliminate the multiple stair climbs to different slide structures that guests at other parks navigate, creating a more efficient experience where the time between slides is minimized and the thrill frequency maximized. Water slide safety is managed with the same rigor that governs amusement parks — trained slide attendants at every slide, height requirements enforced consistently, posted rider instructions that cover body position and weight restrictions, and the regular equipment inspection and maintenance program that keeps all attractions operating safely throughout the season.

Wave Pool and Lazy River

The wave pool provides the beach experience without the beach — a large rectangular pool with a sloping gradual entry at the shallow end and the continuous wave generator at the deep end that produces a cycling pattern of swells and breaks that guests can body surf, bob in, or simply stand and let wash over them. The wave pool is the social center of the park, where large groups gather and the crowd energy is highest, with waves generating the kind of spontaneous laughter, tumbles, and shared experience that create the memories that bring families back year after year. The lazy river provides the counterpoint to the wave pool's energy — a meandering circular channel where the gentle current carries float-tube riders at a relaxed pace through a landscaped route that provides relative quiet, shade from strategically planted cover structures, and the contemplative enjoyment of drifting in cool water while the summer heat radiates from the surrounding desert landscape beyond the park's walls. Tube rentals are available at lazy river entry points, and the circuit's loop design means riders can continue around for as many laps as they choose without exiting and re-entering.

Children's Splash Areas and Family Pools

The youngest park guests receive their own dedicated water play area — a zero-depth splash zone designed specifically for toddlers and young children who are not yet ready for the water slides and wave pool but deserve an age-appropriate water play experience that is genuinely engaging and safely designed for their developmental stage. The children's splash area features interactive splash features at toddler height, gentle water curtains, small slides appropriate for very young children, and the shallow wading areas where parents can accompany their children in the water. A larger family pool provides a middle ground between the children's splash zone and the main attraction areas — deep enough for swimming but with a calm surface and moderate depth appropriate for children who have developed basic swimming skills but are not ready for open water wave exposure. Family pool programming including swim lessons, water polo sessions, and the supervised recreational swim periods that give structured options for families who want guided activity rather than unstructured play.

Cabanas and Guest Amenities

Premium cabana rentals provide families and groups with a reserved, shaded private space that transforms a water park visit from a day of managing logistics to a genuinely relaxing social experience. Cabanas include lounge chairs, a table, a fan, a small refrigerator, and dedicated server service for food and beverage orders from the park's concession menu — creating an on-demand retreat from the sun where belongings are secure, the group has a consistent meeting point, and the adults in the party can observe the children's activities from a comfortable, shaded vantage point. General lounge areas with complimentary chairs and umbrellas provide comfortable base-setting options for budget-conscious groups, and the full-service concession stands offer the complete range of water park food — funnel cakes, nachos, pizza, burgers, slushies, and the frozen novelties that are never more welcome than on a 106-degree Southern Utah summer day. Locker rentals secure valuables during the park visit, and changing facilities with showers support a clean departure after a full day in the water.
