Greenville County Rec is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for both our employees and guests during the COVID-19 pandemic.  In accordance with this commitment, the following actions and preventative measures have been implemented at all 3 waterpark locations, including Discovery Island, Otter Creek and 7th Inning Splash. In return, we ask that when you visit our parks you show respect for staff and others by obeying social distancing, utilizing sanitation stations and exercising patience when approaching slides and attractions.

Tickets & Waterpark Entry

  • Entry is divided into two lines, one for pass holders and those who purchased advanced tickets and one for patrons who need to purchase a ticket. We recommend purchasing tickets online to minimize time spent in line.

  • Self-service payment options are available by credit card
