Editor's Take

About the Venue

Pirate's Cove Waterpark at Pohick Bay Regional Park is a pirate-themed family waterpark with splash pads, a large themed play structure, a 300-gallon dumping bucket, two waterslides, a main pool, and a spacious tot pool with a clam-shell slide. Buccaneer Beach adds sand play, and the park also offers reservable picnic areas and party options. It is especially appealing for younger kids and elementary ages who want more than a simple splash pad without the scale of the region's largest waterparks.
