New water park to open in Metro Atlanta this summer
ATLANTA — A new water park is set to open in the Metro Atlanta area this summer, adding another family entertainment destination to the region’s growing attractions portfolio.
The water park, which will feature multiple water slides, a lazy river, and children’s play areas, represents a significant investment in the local tourism and recreation sector. Park officials said the facility will create approximately 200 seasonal jobs when it opens to the public.
Park Features and Amenities
The new facility will include several major attractions designed for visitors of all ages. A multi-level water slide complex will serve as the park’s centerpiece, featuring both high-speed racing slides and gentler family-friendly options.
Other amenities will include a large wave pool, lazy river, and dedicated children’s area with smaller slides and interactive water features. The park will also offer cabana rentals, food concessions, and retail merchandise areas.
Economic Impact and Employment
Local officials expect the water park to contribute to the area’s economy through increased tourism and job creation. The facility will employ lifeguards, maintenance staff, food service workers, and guest services personnel during its operating season.
The park’s opening comes as Metro Atlanta continues to expand its family entertainment offerings, joining other attractions that draw visitors from across the Southeast. Tourism officials said the addition will help extend visitor stays and boost spending at nearby hotels and restaurants.
Opening Timeline and Access
While an exact opening date has not been announced, park developers said they are targeting a summer 2024 launch. The facility is currently in final construction phases, with safety inspections and staff training scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.
Ticket pricing and season pass information will be released closer to the opening date, according to park representatives. The water park will operate seasonally, typically from late spring through early fall, depending on weather conditions.
