This Outdoor Water Playground In North Carolina Will Be Your New Favorite Destination

There's a little-known water playground hiding in North Carolina and you're going to love it. It combines a playground with a swimming hole to make a fun-filled, family destination. For small children, this may be the best outdoor water park in North Carolina. Generations of families have been coming for decades and once you see Suncrest Water Park, you'll want to go, too.

Sun Crest Water Park in Taylorsville is an honest-to-goodness playground in the water.

You'll love bringing the little ones and seeing them enjoy the fun water features, like climbing through a whale's mouth to get to the bright yellow slide on the other side.

Bigger kids (and adults!) will also have a ball at Sun Crest Water Park. From slides to cooling off in the water and just relaxing in the sun (or shade), the young at heart enjoy this unique park as much as the kiddos. There's a small platform that has a rope swing! Are you brave enough to try it out?

For sure this playground in the water is fun for the whole family and big enough to really enjoy yourself while you watch the kids or just simply relax.

The park has slides for just about every age group, including the adults. And the best part? No. Long. Lines. (Shhhh... the place is a secret... )

Another fantastic thing about Sun Crest is you can bring your own cooler. (As with any playground, no alcohol is permitted.)

It could be time to start a new summertime family tradition. Isn't it time you got in on the fun at what just may be the best outdoor water park in North Carolina ?
