A retired nurse tried to do it but didn't help by then while the very very young immature inexperience teenage guards stood like statues in shock. If you go there, remember YOU are the only safety net for your kids. Don't count on anyone or anything else. Don't be lax or chilled. Stay vigilent. YOU are the life guard for your kids! Keep one kid per adult, no more. Keep them in reach of your ARM, no farther away. It takes 4 minutes to be brain dead from drown but only 30 seconds to already begin drown if you swallow water to your lungs. Water is fun but we not fish. Be smart. Be safe. Pray for ya'll.

Just a mere few weeks after 9/11/01, this city hosted its' annual Fall Festival, the Red River Revel. And during this particular year, the Gypsy Songman himself, Jerry Jeff Walker was to be headlining one of the Saturday nights. My chums and I, all huge, adoring Jerry Jeff fans, went to the show in full vigor. I myself, consuming what was pretty much my own body weight at that time, in draft beer, during each and every song, and after show's end, then venturing to a local tavern across town, where I would ultimately end up unconscious, and seeking the comforts, spread eagle no less, of said tavern's convenient outdoor parking, and the asphalt thereof. And this, only after regurgitating some of my stomach's contents into an empty pint glass, inside said tavern. Then there was July 4th, 2005. It was the night before my Father passed away. I sat in my Father's hospital room, and he, on his death bed. The television hanging on the wall, was tuned in to a local station, which was broadcasting live from this very park, for its' annual Independence Day celebration. And on this night, at this very sad moment, I remember sitting in that chair in that room, my Father resting, and looking up at that television screen, and seeing all the people, all the visitors to the park that day, families, and couples. As the camera panned the large crowd, hundreds, maybe thousands of faces. They all looked so happy. So carefree. Life was so beautiful for them. I was going through one of the worst times of my life. And then, down at the festivities, the recorded voice of Louie Armstrong, and his song, "What A Wonderful World" began playing. I could hear it on tv. My Father remained asleep peacefully. I just began crying. Of course, there are other memories of this park, less heavy, and not as important maybe. I remember another Red River Revel, years later. Where I jumped up on stage with local band Dirtfoot and showed all forward looking eyeballs my latest and greatest dance maneuvers, as interpreted from the music the band was playing. This delighted both my future wife and festival security immensely. There have also been countless enjoyable viewings of outdoor films here courtesy of Movies and Moonbeams. Recently, this park was deluged with waters from the adjacent Red River, and suffered extensive damage. In recent months, as festival seasons have come and gone, this area has not been available or open. It appears now that most, if not all, repairs, as well as planned upgrades, are now complete. Hopefully, this park will once again become the focal point of all activity and highlights during festivals, as well as day to day downtown recreation.

On the first day of the season, the water is dirty with actual floating debris, several core attractions like the lazy river were unavailable, and the area for toddlers now has an open rope in the fence leading to a drop off into a landing pool for water slides. It seems that instead of improving the park, they actually made it substantially worse. Very disappointing. Save your money, especially if you have small children.

For anyone unfamiliar, this is the only diamond mine in the world open to the public where you can actually keep what you find. Some surprisingly large diamonds have been discovered here over the years, so there's always that tiny bit of hope that keeps you searching. What surprised me most was the layout. For some reason I expected caves or mining tunnels, but it's actually a huge open field where visitors search, dig, sift, and surface hunt. We paid $45 total admission for 3 people and thankfully already had equipment provided by our rental house (checkout Punkin's place in Murfreesboro, Arkansas on Airbnb) because you can absolutely spend extra renting tools onsite if needed. We started with wet sifting before moving into dry and surface searching. There were a few muddy sections from recent rain, but overall the conditions were great during our May visit. Slightly overcast skies with an occasional drizzle made the weather perfect for being outside. I honestly can't imagine doing this in the middle of a blazing hot summer afternoon. I had read reviews from people saying they left exhausted, but we approached it a little differently due to some back and shoulder limitations. We worked smart, paced ourselves, and still had a fantastic time. We didn't find diamonds that day, but we did leave with some beautiful rocks and a really fun experience. We would absolutely do this again!

The lack of maintenance is apparent all over the park-- cement peeling off from inside the pools and lazy river, faded paint on just about everything, you can just see that this place needs MONEY! The wave pool is laughable, the lazy river I just wanted to get out as soon as I got in, and there are areas all around the park that are closed down. The main pool, lazy river, and wave pool are absolutely disgusting and don't look like they are cleaned out very often (if at all). There really isn't much to do here besides the big main slides and the larger pool. We don't like being out in the sun too much, so we stayed around 3-4 hours each time we went. There are no kids rates, everyone pays the same price for a ticket. So having one child unable to ride most of the slides because of her age/height, didn't seem fair to pay full price. (I have a 4 and 6 year old.) As expected with a Waterpark, it's being run by teenagers. The amount of give-a-damn is apparent how they don't really even pay attention when telling you to slide. Whether or not the last person that slid down is out of the way, they don't care. Most of the time you are asking them "hey, can I go now?" Because there hasn't been people down the slide in a long time. This place does have potential, but it's definitely not being utilized at this moment. I'd love to see someone come in and fix it up, it could be an awesome place!

I love this water park, and we've had a great time here before. However, there are a few things I…read morewish someone had told us before visiting. First, all of the water attractions slides, pools, etc. close at 7:00 PM, even though the rest of the park and rides stay open. This wasn't made clear when we arrived. They make an announcement around closing time, but if you're on the other side of the park, you may not make it back to your chairs before staff clears the seating area. Unfortunately, when we returned, our clean towels and personal belongings had been removed from our chairs and placed on top of the trash cans. They had also piled other guests' belongings on top of ours, including someone else's socks. I found this really rude, unsanitary, and unprofessional. Since the chairs aren't being stacked away anyway, I don't understand why our belongings couldn't have just been left on the chairs instead of being placed on the trash. If it's your first visit, make sure you're back at your chairs before 7:00 PM, or your belongings may be moved. Another thing to be aware of is that there are a lot of bees around the outdoor eating areas. They constantly swarm the tables and will even get into your drinks while you're trying to eat. Lastly, I recommend bringing your own travel pack of toilet paper or flushable wipes. The women's restrooms often run out of toilet paper, and while the staff is friendly, it can take a while for someone to restock the bathrooms. With long lines of people waiting to use the restroom and changing rooms, having your own supplies can save you a lot of hassle. Overall, I still enjoy this water park, but I hope management improves communication about the water attraction closing time and handles guests' belongings with more care and respect.
