Sylvan Lake Aqua Splash, Sylvan Lake

Sylvan Lake aqua splash park is fantastic. The park is large and has plenty of room to accommodate the crowds. There was a bit of a line but it money quickly and our kids only waited for 15 minutes or so. There is a large grassy area to sit and watch and enjoy a picnic. Prices are reasonable and there is plenty of paid parking.

A perfect place to have fun and stay cool! The staff is amazing! Thank you for the wonderful days!

A fun place for kids over 10 and people that are physically fit enough to pull themselves out of the water onto the play structure. Definitely not enough lifeguards on the aqua splash- only 2 for the 50 plus people playing around. It would be beneficial for them to add ladder type steps in the water to the areas with the pull up handles so it makes it easier for people to get back on the play structure. I was very uncomfortable while on the play structure and thankfully the full time lifeguard was able to take me back to shore with the boat.

We visited planning to purchase a half day pass, and paid for parking for the whole day only to find that they were only offering 1 hour passes with 20% off each additional hour to be purchased separately. This ended up being fine (aside from the wasted money on parking) because an hour kicked our butts. Take the waiver seriously, there is definitely a risk with slick surfaces and young people racing around. I slipped and sprained my pinky finger while climbing over one of the obstacles. There seems to be a shortage of life vests, and my son ended up in one too large, and was told the smaller size wouldn’t fit him, but the one he was wearing was absolutely too big and was nearly going over his head each time he went in the water. Getting out of the water was challenging, thankfully everyone in attendance was willing to help one another, as well as the lifeguards when close enough. It was a very unique experience and something we would definitely consider doing again with caution. Our favorite part was jumping off of the highest point!

Very long wait on the weekend and a lot harder that it looks but we just loved every minute. The area has lots of lifeguards and very high quality mats/bouncy pads. Our kids are 6 & 8 and needed a bit of help which was totally ok for 2 adults (hubby mostly helping the three of us lol). I usually hate cold lakes and did fall in quite a bit but was so warm from the workout and all the laughter that I did not mind at all. All in all, worth every penny and every minute wait. In fact, we’re planning to go back tomorrow!
