ROCKHAMPTON, QLD: Aquatic fun in ‘Rocky’ will go up a notch this summer, with the launch of a new waterpark at Discovery Parks – Rockhampton.

Set to open in December 2018, the new $1.6 million waterpark will feature three slides, a dump bucket and toddler area.

Work has already started on the new facility which will be free to Discovery Park guests, with the local community welcome to use the facilities with a three-hour pass.

The park will also be taking bookings for children’s parties, with a private poolside area available for group and party use.

Discovery Parks – Rockhampton already features an idyllic pool setting, and the waterpark development is a response to strong guest demand for more aquatic facilities.

Discovery Parks Chief Operating Officer Adam Koch says the new waterpark will be a welcome addition to one of our favourite Queensland properties.

“Our Rockhampton park has fantastic facilities including a tennis court, kids club, playground and bouncing pillow. The new waterpark will be just another reason people will return to the park time and time again.”

“It’s also sure to become a local hot spot for birthday parties, and we look forward to celebrating many special occasions with our guests,” said Adam.

The half-day pass will be available at $25 per person, with a free ice cream and drink on arrival.
