Last November, Westgate Resorts broke ground on River Country Water Park, a new addition to Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo.
Set to open to resort guests in summer 2025, River Country Water Park will offer three waterslides: an open slide stretching over 281 feet with thrilling twists and turns, a vibrant tube slide with colorful stripes and a high-adrenaline free-fall slide that plunges guests from 35 feet up. The oversized, island-inspired lagoon pool with shallow-water sun shelves and lounge seating will provide an escape for those seeking to unwind between rides.
Families and younger guests will be delighted by an expansive aquatic play area, featuring a splash pad with mini slides, dump buckets, spray cannons and a whimsical waterfall shower. Surrounding the play area are additional kid-friendly activities, like the “ride ‘n spray” horse, a mushroom maze and a towering water feature affectionately known as “Buddy Bovine.”
Ranch-themed cabanas, inspired by the resorts’ glamping wagons and teepees, will offer exclusive seating for up to six guests. Each cabana includes a large-screen TV, mini refrigerator and a private in-cabana safe. The full-service “Bar’n” bar will also serve up cold beverages and snacks in a rustic, ranch-inspired setting.
Westgate Resorts’ timeshare owners will enjoy complimentary access to the waterpark when visiting during their timeshare week.
“Westgate’s River Country Water Park adds to the already impressive lineup of amenities we’re proud to offer at our premier resort ranch,” said Westgate Resorts CEO Jim Gissy. “Westgate River Ranch is one of the most unique vacation experiences in Florida, and we’re thrilled to give our guests and timeshare owners even more reasons to make lasting memories with us year after year.”
