Just when you thought Moonta Bay couldn't get any
cooler as a summer holiday destination, a brand new water park hits the shoreline of the Copper Coast, Yorke Peninsula. It's time to grab your bathers, your beach towel and your friends and get down to Splash Town. Entry to the water park is free and it's open from 10am - 6pm during school holidays and weekends from December to March.
The newest water park in South Australia will be popular with the kids this summer.
Splash Town was brought to life with funding from the state government and the District Council of the Copper Coast. It's set in the perfect location amongst the
Moonta Bay Caravan Park, Bay View Cafe and Seagate Cafe/Bistro Hotel. There's also Moonta Bay jetty, barbeque facilities, playground, public toilets, picnic seating, ample parking and of course Moonta's picturesque coastline. With so much to see and do here, why not make a day of it?
The colourful mushrooms 'rain' all day long.
Moonta is a beloved holiday destination for many South Australian families, and being just over 2 hours from the CBD, it's not hard to see why. The water park is the newest attraction to the area sure to be a No.1 splash hit for people of all ages. We have no doubt that this will be the most popular spot to cool off during the summer holidays.
The Splash Bucket will be a great way to cool down while in Moonta Bay.
Move over Moonta Mines Sweet Shop, this colourful contender features five slides of varying shapes and sizes, a large splash bucket and 'raining mushrooms' sure to keep the kiddies entertained and sugar-free for hours.
Splash Town is the latest and greatest on the Copper Coast.
Parents rejoice! Remember, entry to the park is FREE and you don't have to stay at the Caravan Park to obtain entry - although if you do, that can only be a bonus. The later opening time of 10.00am should allow you get a bit of a sleep in before the hounding starts, though we take no responsibility if this doesn't stop the little tackers from trying to get in early. Our advice to everyone is to bring a hat and 'slip slop slap' as there doesn't seem to be much shade available yet. Whether this will be addressed in the future we aren't too sure.
Park opening times.
Will overcrowding be the downside of this park, due to its size and popular location? Only time will tell - let us know how you go. We think this is going to be a very busy spot this summer, as locals and holidaymakers alike beat the heat in a very cool way.
The new water park features five slides and a huge splash bucket.
For awesome family holiday fun be sure to get out to Splash Town Water Park. What do you think will be your favourite attraction?
