The JCC provides chaise lounge chairs, 12-foot, heavy-duty, sun-blocking beach umbrellas for maximum shade from the summer sun, and single and double inner tubes for the lazy river. The infant/toddler area has interactive play features to keep little ones engaged in splashing, sliding, jumping, and swimming their way to fun. Plus, we have a Star of David splash pad for a barefoot-stomping good time.

The water park opens for the summer season around Memorial Day (on Sat, May 25 in 2024) . Different areas may have different hours. See typical hours on our Hours page, and for the complete schedule of all our outdoor as well as indoor pools, visit our Schedules page. Please Note: All areas of the Eskenazi Water Park close 15 minutes prior to the building closing on weekdays, and 30 minutes before building close on weekends, to allow time for showering and changing.

For real-time updates on closings and cancellations due to weather, join our Eskenazi Water Park group page on Facebook. We close the water park whenever we hear thunder or see lightning and keep the aquatics park closed for 30 minutes after the last thunder was heard or lightning seen. Based on the time of day and radar, we make a determination whether a full closure is necessary.

Our community water park is free for JCC members as a benefit of membership. Visit our online registration and membership tool for types of memberships, including summer memberships.

For guest pass information and blackout dates, please see the “Guests Are Welcome” tab on the JCC Membership webpage.

The JCC has locker rooms and changing rooms available. The water park changing rooms may be used by individuals/families with opposite gender children under the age of 5. For those with children of the opposite gender ages 5+, we offer Family Changing Rooms which are gender-neutral and available to all whether a single individual or a family. The Men’s and Women’s Locker Rooms are for members and guests ages 16 and older.

The JCC allows outside food, beverages, and coolers in designated areas. Please note that any items brought in must be respectful of our Jewish members, i.e., no shellfish or pork products. We ask that the area directly by the café be reserved for members who keep kosher.
