Oklahoma City's White Water Bay Profile

Oklahoma City's White Water Bay is the premiere amusement park for outdoor fun in the water around the metro area. Owned and operated by Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc. for some time before being sold in early 2007 to Florida-based PARC 7F-Operations Corp, White Water opened in 1981 and has over 25 acres of water fun including rides, slides and pools.

From the thrills of the 6-story-tall Mega-Wedgie slide and Big Kahuna tube ride to the leisure of floating in Castaway Creek, the park has something for everyone.

White Water Bay is located on Reno Avenue, just off I-40. Exit I-40 onto Meridian and go north to Reno. The park entrance is on Reno between Meridian and Portland, west of I-44.
