When the summer heat arrives, there’s no better way to beat the heat in Oklahoma City than at White Water Bay amusement water park.

White Water Bay opened in 1981 and has been providing thrilling summer experiences since. Initially owned by Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc., it was sold to CNL Lifestyle Properties in early 2007. The park has been managed by former owners Kieran Burke and Gary Story since 2011.

This exciting water park spans over 25 acres, featuring a wide range of rides, slides, and pools. From the adrenaline-pumping 6-story-tall Mega-Wedgie slide and the Big Kahuna tube ride to the relaxing Castaway Creek, it offers something for everyone to enjoy.

Location

White Water Bay is conveniently situated on Reno Avenue, just off I-40. Exit I-40 onto Meridian, head north to Reno, and you will find the park entrance between Meridian and Portland, west of I-44.

The White Water Bay season commences in May. Typically, the park operates from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. most days during June and July, staying open until 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. In August, the hours are adjusted, with closing time at 6 p.m. for most of the month. To confirm specific hours, please refer to the official online calendar.
