Waterworld to get a $5.5 million aquatic playground next year!
There's a big splash coming to Waterworld Aquatic Centre in Ridgehaven, with the City of Tea Tree Gully announcing a $5.5 million upgrade that will bring a brand-new aquatic playground to the popular family destination.
The new attraction will feature a 9.5-metre play tower with five colourful slides, water cannons, waterfalls and a whopping 900-litre tipping bucket, set to be the largest of its kind in South Australia!
The playground will complement Waterworld's existing pools, slides, junior splash pad and aqua run, giving families even more reasons to make a day of it. Construction will begin during the off-season, with the new aquatic playground expected to be ready ahead of the 2027/28 summer season. Waterworld remains open as usual this season.
Waterworld Aquatic Centre located on Golden Grove Road, offers everything your family needs for an unforgettable day out in the sun!
Located just four minutes from Westfield Tea Tree Plaza and surrounded by lush lawns and trees, you’ll enjoy three heated outdoor pools, thrilling waterslides, and a toddler pool with interactive splash pad that’ll keep the young ones entertained for hours.
For thrill-seekers, the waterslides offer exciting challenges, including a curly slide and two racing slides, and the two-person AquaRun inflatable obstacle course will challenge even the biggest kids!
Safety is a priority at Waterworld, with trained lifeguards overseeing all activities, and if you’re feeling hungry, the café’s got hot food, snacks, and yummy ice cream ready to refuel the whole crew, or you can relax in the shaded grass areas and cook a family BBQ.
Birthday coming up? Waterworld offers hosted parties, making it easy to celebrate your child’s big day with priority slide access and a private party area. You can also check out their Dive In Movies and special events – there’s always something happening at Waterworld!
For families planning multiple visits, the annual membership is a great value at $380 for a family pass, offering unlimited entry for the season. They also offer a learn to swim program taught by AUSTSWIM-qualified instructors.
Whether you’re making a quick visit or planning a whole summer of fun, Waterworld has everything you need to keep the family entertained.
