Welcome to Williston Water World! 

We at Williston Parks & Rec are thrilled about the upcoming opening of Williston’s NEW outdoor water park, and we know you are too! While construction is still in progress, we’re working hard to have it ready for the public by July 2025.

In the unlikely event that we’re unable to open before August 4, 2025, Water World will officially debut in the Spring of 2026.

We understand you may have questions, and we’ve provided many answers right here on this page. Be sure to check out the Q&A below, and if you still have questions, feel free to fill out the inquiry form. A member of our team will be happy to assist you within three business days!

Lastly, don't forget to follow us on Facebook and stay up to date! 

Alright, let's talk Water World! 

First and foremost, have you seen the exciting preview of what’s coming?

When is Water World opening?

Currently, we do not have an exact opening date for Water World, but we’re on track for a July 2025 debut! As for our end-of-season dates, those are still being finalized, and we’ll share updates as soon as we can.

Once construction is complete, the pools will be filled and will need about two weeks to cure, depending on the weather. Once this happens, we’ll be able to announce the official public opening date.

Before we welcome everyone in, we’ll be hosting a few invite-only soft openings solely for training purposes. These events will be coordinated with the Williston Community Builders, and we’ll keep you updated as details come together!

What is the capacity of Water World?

Water World has a capacity of 480 guests, and we anticipate reaching that limit during the opening weeks as we welcome everyone for the first time. Our team is working diligently to ensure everything runs smoothly during the opening weeks, and we thank you in advance for your understanding as we get things underway.

Who is going to own and operate Williston Water World?

The Williston Parks & Rec is incredibly grateful to the Williston Community Builders for their dedication in making Water World a reality! Once it opens, Water World will be owned and operated by Williston Parks & Rec, and we couldn't be more excited to share this new addition with the community!

If you’re not currently an ARC Member, you’re welcome to purchase a membership to enjoy this benefit!

What can we bring to Water World?

You’re welcome to bring basic swim essentials such as life jackets, diving toys, goggles, and water bottles to Water World. However, please refrain from bringing coolers, tubes, rafts, or beach balls.

Will there be concessions? 

Yes! Water World will offer a variety of concessions, including drinks, snacks, and some fun swag! We’ll accept both cash and card, and there will be an ATM on-site for your convenience.

Know a group that might be interested in helping us run concessions? Send them our way—we’d love to hear from them!

How old can you be at Water World without supervision? 

Children 10+ and older are welcome to enjoy Water World without supervision. Note, siblings must be 16+ to watch those under 10 years old. 

Will the ARC Waterpark be open while Water World is open?

Unfortunately, Water World will replace the ARC Waterpark during the summer months. However, in the event of inclement weather causing Water World to close, we're excited to announce that the ARC Waterpark will open, and guests will be invited to head over to the ARC to continue swimming!

Will any pools remain open at the ARC? 

Yes! Aquacise, Lap Swim, and River Walk will still be available as usual throughout the summer at the ARC. However, in the case of inclement weather and Water World closes, we may have to adjust these times due to the ARC Waterpark opening for swimmers.  

Can I host a private party at Water World?

Yes! Water World will have a private party room available, and we’re thrilled to start booking events. However, due to the excitement surrounding the opening, we are holding off on party bookings for now. If you're interested in reserving a private event, please fill out the inquiry form, and we’ll reach out to you as soon as bookings begin in the order requests are received. Thank you for understanding! 

We hope this has answered many of your questions! If there's anything we didn't cover, please fill out the inquiry form and a member of our team will be in touch within three business days!
