It is with great sadness that we announce that the White Water Canyon Water Park will not open for the 2020 pool season.

We held out hope for as long as possible. IDPH has not released guidelines for public pool operation, nor do we have confirmation from Cook County Health Department that operating permits will be issued in a timely manner, if at all. Without official guidance, and using the information currently available to us, we have determined that opening is prohibitive based on the health challenges, time limitations, capacity limits, social distancing and sanitation protocols required to operate safely.

Thank you for understanding. We look forward to a great2021 pool season!

Stay Healthy! Stay Positive! Stay Optimistic!

Canyon Cafe Menu

White Water Canyon Water Park is 5 acres of splashing, sliding, water fun for the whole family! The main pool features a zero depth entry with an interactive children’s play area, a 1-meter diving board, and a 3-meter drop slide.

Our continuously flowing lazy river will be your place to relax in a single or double inner tube as you gently journey around 600 feet of river. It will be your choice to take the adventure channel with splash buckets or remain on the relaxing path of this winding waterway.

The Spray Ground is full of interactive fountains, water cannons, arches that spray, flowers that squirt, and buckets that dump. It’s a wild, wonderful watery adventure for kids of all ages. The park is complete with a sand play area full of buckets, scoops, shovels and a triple sand and water play table.

The full service concession stand will assist you in quenching your thirst or curbing your hunger offering everything from a quick ice cream cone or soft pretzel to a full meal of pizza or chicken tenders.
