Splash Down Waterpark

Splash Down Waterpark is a water recreation facility spread across a large area within Ben Lomond Regional Park that features multiple pools and water slides of varying heights and types. The grounds include a slow-moving river ride, tall slide towers, and shallow water areas designed for different age groups and swimming abilities.

The facility was established in 1996 on the grounds of a former swimming pool location. The creation of this expanded water recreation center reflected the county's growing investment in summer recreational options for residents.

The facility serves as a home base for local swim teams who conduct their training sessions throughout the season. Families return year after year, making it a gathering place where swimming skills are taught and memories are made.

The facility includes areas for different swimming levels and experience, from beginner zones to more challenging slides for confident swimmers. Planning a visit during weekday mornings or early in the season typically means shorter lines and more space to enjoy the water.

The park includes two exceptionally tall slide towers that visitors can see from across the grounds. A zero-depth beach area allows young children to wade gradually into deeper water, giving them confidence as they learn to swim.
