Cool Off in Sparks' Waters during Summer
Sparks Marina Park offers plenty of activities all in one place. There are two playgrounds and volleyball courts for sports enthusiasts, and the park lies on the shores of the stunning 77-acre Sparks Marina Lake, where guests can relax on one of the beaches while the kids cool off in the water. Later, take a boat ride across the lake or go scuba diving, before embarking on a family lunch in the picnic area within the park.
The Wild Island Family Adventure Park is a reason to spend time outside your house rentals and enjoy fun water sports. Young ones who don't mind getting wet can get in the Little Lagoon and enjoy every splash of water. Older kids and teenagers can take on adrenaline-inducing slides and water tunnels in the park's splish-splashing Adventureland. After burning a few calories, grab a quick meal at one of the cafés or a sweet treat from Dippin' Dots Ice Cream parlor.
