Wild Waterparks

There’s no better way to beat the summer heat than by hitting one—or all three—of Greenville County Parks, Recreation & Tourism’s waterparks. With slides, splash pads, and pools designed to entertain all ages, your only problem will be convincing the kids to leave at the end of the day!

Four slides—including one just for little ones—a 7,000-squarefoot leisure pool and an expansive spray pad await water enthusiasts at Otter Creek Waterpark. One slide offers adrenaline junkies a short but nearly sheer drop before gliding into the narrow plunge pool. It’s a rush followed by a splash followed by a “Let’s do that again!”.

If you’re looking for variety, Discovery Island Waterpark in Simpsonville has it all—a body slide, a tube slide, a lazy river, a 4-Tier Splash ‘n Play Structure in the zero-depth section of the pool, and a FlowRider® perpetual wave that will challenge even the most athletic of your crew!

In the southernmost corner of the county, 7th Inning Splash Waterpark in Piedmont boasts the tallest tower of the three parks—at 36 feet high—and a 270-foot giant funnel slide that will keep the teens occupied all afternoon. For those seeking fewer exciting drops and spins, there’s plenty of action to be had on the 5,000-square-foot baseball-diamond-shaped spray pad inspired by Chicago’s Wrigley Field.

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, you and yours can relax on the expansive decks, or chill out under the shade canopies. All three parks feature concession stands offering savory snacks and sweet treats that help make Greenville’s waterparks a refreshing escape for the whole family.
