About the Gulf Islands Water Park

The Gulf Islands Waterpark is one of the most fun places in Gulfport Mississippi. Extremely popular during the hot months of summer the park fills up faster than you can imagine. Near the Gulfport Sportsplex the Gulf Islands Water Park is easy to find and parking is available on site. 

Gulf Islands Waterpark has a wealth of attractions and great things to do for most ages. 'Lil Pelican Bay is perfect for the little ones. Gulf Islands Water Park features "aqua toys" here and two open-concept body slides that are more than 140 feet long! The highlight here that thrills the kids is the massive Pelican Bucket that sits up and fills continuously after it tips over spilling water over the entire kids area at the Gulf Islands Water Park. The Ship Island Wreck is full of snaking turns and veering twists as you blast through the waterslide and make a giant splash on your way out
