About the Venue

Katelman Water Park is a paid outdoor aquatic center that includes shallow-entry and play-feature appeal for families who might otherwise look for a splash pad. The park features a zero-depth area, play features, a drop slide, shaded seating, concessions, greenspace, and a sand volleyball court. It is a practical choice for families who want more than a spray-ground visit and do not mind paying admission for a fuller pool outing.
