BLAST OFF!

SplashDown Park opens for the season on Saturday, May 27 at 11A. Kick summer off right at the Aquaplex!

Join us for our Spring-themed celebration! Taking place Saturday, April 8 from 2:30P - 5P, enjoy multiple egg hunt options, raffles, bunny bingo, dance-a-thon, and special spring treats. All of our egg hunts are independent so no one will have to worry about racing other kids to the eggs. Hundreds of prizes are up for grabs! Everyone walks away a winner!

Egg Hunt Choices ($5/round)

• Egg Rescue - Mama Bird’s eggs fell into a hole in the ground. The grass is too thick for her to get to them! Rescue all 5 eggs and save the day! played on the poolside, great for young children and anyone who would prefer to stay dry.

• Floating Egg Hunt - 60 seconds to get as many floating eggs as you can into your basket.

• Sunken Egg Hunt - 90 seconds to get as many sunken eggs as you can into your basket.

You may participate in the egg hunts without a day pass, but you will need to purchase a pass to enjoy open swim while you are here.

Egg hunts will take place in our Program Pool, which is 3’6” to 4’7” deep. We have life jackets available for families to use, but you may bring your own as long as it is coast guard approved (ie. puddle jumper). Adults may be asked to accompany their child in the water depending on the child’s age and swimming ability.

Register for your first round online & get a complimentary goodie bag at the door. Drop-ins welcome.

Hampton Virginia Aquaplex Grand Opening Event

Olympic Gold medalist Cullen Jones will give remarks at the opening

The Hampton Virginia Aquaplex grand opening event will be held on Saturday, October 29, 10 am - 3 pm at the new facility located at 1908 Coliseum Drive. The opening will feature free entertainment, refreshments, games, and pool demonstrations. 

Doors will open at 10 am followed by a program at 10:30 am featuring Olympic gold medalist Cullen Jones. Jones is a four-time Olympic medalist and the first African American swimmer to hold a world record. At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Jones swam on the legendary world-record setting 4x100 freestyle relay team. In 2012, Jones won gold as Team USA’s anchor in the 4x100 medley relay, silver in the 4x100 freestyle relay, and individual silver in the 50m freestyle. Working with USA Swimming Foundation’s Make a Splash Program, Jones is dedicated to promoting the importance of minorities learning to swim.

Following the ceremony, there will be demonstrations of swimming, diving, water polo, and artistic swimming; self-guided tours of the facility; and interactive games and giveaways throughout the day. While this is a non-swimming event for attendees, information about membership options, learn to swim and fitness classes, and community events will be available. There will be sneak-peek tours of Splash Down Park and opportunities to talk to staff about hosting birthday parties and events at the Aquaplex.
