About the Venue

Wild West Water Park combines a public splash pad with a larger seasonal outdoor pool complex in Watford City. The official site lists a free splash pad open daily through Labor Day, plus a children's zero-depth activity area, water slides, concessions, and shaded viewing space for families who want a bigger summer outing. This is one of the region's strongest options when your group includes both younger splash-pad kids and older swimmers who want more than basic spray features.
