Yes. You will be than welcome to wear a wetsuit to stay warm.
Can my children visit the Water Park on their own?
All children under the age of 14 using the Water Park will be required to be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Can I reserve seating areas?
No, all seating in the vicinity of the Water Park will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Can I bring my own tent/marquee?
No, due to extensive underground water infrastructure, structures using ropes (guy or stays) or penetrating the ground (stakes/pegs) are not permitted within the precinct.
Will the Water Park flood when it rains?
Flood mapping has been reviewed and the area where the water park structure is not expected to flood. All electrical equipment within the building will be raised above ground level to minimise the chance of damage due to rising water.
Community Consulation
A project of this scale does not come to fruition without healthy debate. Council has actively engaged with the Charters Towers community to invite comment and to assist with Council deliberations on priority capital projects. Through those conversations, the Water Park was identified in the Mosman Creek Corridor and Towers Hill Walking Track Master Plans commissioned in 2013, and the Community Plan 2011-2035, and the Water Park has been identified as one of ten priority projects by Council for 2020-2024.
