As the first day of summer fast approaches, what better way than to spend it having fun at local water park. Rapids Water Park announced that they officially opened their gates last Friday, June 5th for the summer season.

The Park and its managers have said that they will be introducing a new SafeSplash Guidelines to help keep everyone healthy and safe.  Some of the guidelines include: social distancing ground markers, reducing the parks capacity to 50% percent, wellness checks for both employees and guests, and adding additional hand sanitizing stations throughout the park.

Rapids Water Park features 42 slides, water rides, a lazy river, splash zones, a wave pool and much more.

The CDC states that if you are concerned about being in the water during this time, the chlorine from the water should inactivate the virus in the water.  The park states that the water in all of their attractions is treated with chlorination and monitored by a computer daily.

Rapids Water Park is located at 6566 North Military Trail. For more information, click here to visit their website.
