Gaithersburg Water Park Opens May 24

Splash into summer at the Gaithersburg Water Park. The season begins at noon on Saturday, May 24 and continues through Labor Day. It is located within Bohrer Park near the Skate Park, Miniature Golf Course and Activity Center at 512 South Frederick Avenue, next to Gaithersburg High School.

The Water Park’s resort-style main pool features palm trees, multiple water slides, six lap lanes, a variety of play features, and a zero-depth entry, making it accessible to all. The main attraction is the 250-foot long double-flume slide, where swimmers can choose between a fast or mellow ride down a 38-foot tower. A splash pool for little ones includes open and closed flume slides, play features, fountains, and sprays.

The Water Park also has a carpeted sun deck, grassy areas with picnic tables, plenty of shaded areas, locker rooms, and a snack bar plaza operated by Boardwalk Fries. The Water Park also offers swim lessons and water exercise programs. Visit the Gaithersburg website to register for classes.
