BC's epic floating waterpark near Vancouver is reopening next month

Is it even summer in Canada if you don’t go to the lake? A massive waterpark opening for the season soon, less than two hours from Vancouver, has to be on your summer bucket list.

Harrison Watersports not only has an epic floating obstacle course/playground on the lake, but they also rent bumper boats, BBQ boats, and seadoos for the ultimate lake trip.

They’ve reconfigured their setup and added a new obstacle course for the 2022 season, which officially kicks off on Saturday, June 25.

“We have an exciting new expansion that we are adding to the waterpark this year,” reps told Daily Hive in an email. It’s “a new obstacle course and all-in-one action tower.”

“Also, we will be adding new grip water socks with every waterpark pass. Like every year, we like to remind everyone to book online and in advance, as all activities fill up quickly,” they said.

Here’s how the waterpark works: you book a time slot, and then you get two hours to jump, bounce, and flip your way around the park.

There are swings, slides, monkey bars, teeter-totters, hamster balls, and more to discover.

The lake is so calm that you won’t have to contend with big waves or boat traffic, so you can relax as you grill up and chill out with your pals on board. A 2.5-hour rental is $249.

Bumper boats are available if you and your friends don’t mind a little splashy, playful competition. It’s $23.81 for a half-hour rental.

And if you’re craving more adventure, you can bomb around in a seadoo. Rentals start at $110 for one hour.

Right now, you can book some activities as early as May. Bookings for the waterpark go from June 25 onwards.

“We are excited to see everyone back for another great summer season, and we know that everyone will enjoy the new expansion of the waterpark, as well as, some other new exciting features we are adding to our facility this year,” said the waterpark.
