Westgate Resorts has started construction on its River Country Water Park, scheduled to open in Summer 2025 at the Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo.
The park will include three waterslides: a 281-foot open slide with twists and turns, a vibrant tube slide, and a high-speed freefall slide that drops guests from 35 feet. A large, island-inspired lagoon pool with shallow-water sun shelves and lounge seating will provide a place to unwind.
Features will include an aquatic play area with mini slides, spray cannons, dump buckets, and a waterfall shower.
Unique, ranch-themed cabanas will feature a large-screen TV, mini refrigerator, and private safe. The park will also include a full-service “Bar’n” bar serving drinks and snacks in a rustic setting.
