GREAT FALLS — The Electric City Water Park will open for the season at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, June 3 and will be open through Wednesday, August 23. With the exception of June 3, hours are 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. daily.

Great Falls Park & Recreation says that there are a few changes this summer. The Flow Rider will be closed, but the Lazy River and the Riptide Slide will remain open. Tubes are provided on a first come, first served basis.

Other features at the Water Park include the Mitchell Pool, Little Squirts Soak Zone; and the Power Tower Plunge (two tower water slides).

The pricing structure is new this year, too. One price will provide access to the entire Water Park and all of its amenities: $8 for adults and $5 for youth 3-12. Concessions are available.
