Huge Lower Mainland waterpark finally opens for summer with some changes

Bridal Falls Waterpark is finally reopening for the summer on June 27, meaning visitors will be able to enjoy several water attractions.

However, the waterpark notes that this year, the opening will be limited, after a turbulent past summer season marked by a safety incident.

The partial reopening comes nearly a year after a fibreglass failure on one of the park’s tube slides caused several injuries, including a serious leg injury to an 11-year-old.

According to Technical Safety BC, long-term degradation of the slide’s structure led to a sudden crack and deformation that went undetected during the park’s daily inspection.

While the park’s iconic body slides remain closed indefinitely, water park officials say several family-friendly zones will open this week.

“We are sorry that we can’t welcome you with a full opening with all our slides,” reads a statement from the park on the website.

“We are challenged with some government rules that we are working to resolve.”

What’s open at the park:

Here’s what the Bridal Falls Waterpark staff says will be open to the public as of June 27.

• Kids’ Splash Pad
• Kids’ slides (great for children 12 and under)
• Main pool – perfect for cooling off
• Giant hot tub – heated to 102ºF and open to everyone

Admission is $10 per person, available at the gate only. Children aged two and under are admitted free of charge.

The children’s zone will operate from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, and guests can come and go throughout the day.

Free parking is available on-site, along with shaded tents and picnic tables.

Alongside the water features, guests can visit the newly opened Eatery, Surf Supply, and General Store at the East Point Reef Club.

The park has also announced that the surf pool and spa area will open later in 2025.

Bridal Falls Waterpark is located just off Highway 1 near the Fraser Valley, with ground-level entry to all areas and no stairs to navigate.
