Splish splash this season in this fantastic water park located on a diamond mine. The Crater of Diamonds State Park is home to the only active diamond mine in the country. But it also has another hidden gem tucked inside. And that gem is Diamond Springs Water Park, and it’s truly a unique water park in Arkansas.

Located at 209 State Park Road in Murfreesboro, Diamond Springs Water Park is the only mining-themed water park in Arkansas. And it’s the ultimate aquatic playground to spend the day.

Typically, the park is open from Wednesday to Sunday during the summer months. But we recommend checking the Facebook page for any updates.

Because the water park is located inside the Crater of Diamonds State Park, it makes it the perfect place to cool off after a grueling day of digging for gems.

The kids will love sliding down the two slides and splashing into the 4,166-square-foot swimming oasis.

They’ll also have fun running through the geysers, sprayers, water jets, and waterspouts.

Not only is this water park fun for the little ones, but the adults will also have a blast splashing around in the wading pool.

But if you don’t feel up for swimming, you can relax on the pool deck and watch the kids splash around.

And while you’re relaxing, the lifeguards will be on duty to make sure that the little ones are safe inside the pool.

So, when you’re at Crater of Diamonds, don’t forget that there is another hidden gem inside the park.
