Make Your Summer Epic With A Visit To This Hidden New Jersey Water Park

New Jersey might just be the water park capital of the world. We've got incredible parks scattered throughout the state and several new ones in the works. Water parks are big business in the Garden State and you'll see advertisements all over, not that they need the publicity. We all know about Hurricane Harbor, Sahara Sam's, Mountain Creek and Morey's Piers. However, there is one water park in New Jersey that you may not know about.

Welcome to Crystal Springs Family Water Park.

The first municipal water park in New Jersey, Crystal Springs is an accessible, ADA approved aquatic experience. While it's certainly not the biggest water park in the state, it's a major step up from a town pool.

The park offers seven water amenities.

Members and visitors will enjoy a recreational pool, lap pool, splash pad, kiddie pool, activity pool, lazy river and several thrilling water slides. There's also a barbecue area for visitors to enjoy. If you don't feel like packing a cooler, head to the concession stand.

Kids and adults alike will enjoy this park.

Guests over 48" inches can enjoy the entire park with the exception of the kiddie pool. Relax on the lazy river or get your adrenaline flowing on one of the water slides. Then, bring the little ones over to the splash pad with a nice mix of water features from sprayers to buckets.

A trip here makes for a fun, affordable escape.
