Cobblestones Water Park

Great little water park. Packed our coolers and lunch and cut down on expensive parks that don’t allow that.

The most important thing you need to know about Cobblestones is that no matter how good the overall experience is, it is dampened by the fact that in order to gain entry you have to deal with a horrible troll of a woman. We have gone three times, and each time she has been nastier than the last. We thought it was just us, but we’ve seen her treat other patrons the same way, and after reading reviews it’s clear that she just has no customer service skills.
Other negatives: All indoor spaces are dark and in need of updating. Both sets of bathrooms are old and smell overwhelmingly of deodorant but don’t appear to be cleaned regularly. There are no lounge chairs around the pool. There are no play areas, just the pool. The snack bar closes at the whims of the owners. Hours for the snack bar are posted but it closes when they say it closes.
There are lots of positives to this place. The kiddie pool is huge and has three slides and two waterfall mushrooms. It’s clean. It’s clean. It’s clean. It’s reasonable compared to Kings Dominion. Coolers/​outside food are allowed.
Overall, it’s «okay» but the lack of amenities paired with the nastiness of the admissions lady makes me reluctant to recommend this place.

Nice pool. The interior is outdated and the bathrooms are a little dirty. The woman at the counter could win miss personality of the year award. Her personality was as peppy as a wet book. Other than that not too bad. The bathrooms smelled like urine.

Why is it so dark inside? The pool is ok but overall it feels sketchy.
There aren’t any pool rules that we could see but that didn’t stop the lifeguards from constantly blowing their whistles and pointing at people. One of the people in my group said they were whistled at but weren’t quite sure what they did wrong.

My friend and I wanted to go to a water park, but didn’t want to drive all the way to Kings Dominion or Busch Gardens… so we Google’d and decided to visit Cobblestones. It’s a $ 12 all-​day ticket for adults, which isn’t a bad fee, but there’s really not too much going on here.
The water park itself isn’t bad, the water is clean and there are a good number of slides for all ages, including two relatively high slides for older kids/​adults. The foam mats used for those tall slides were worn down and some had insects stuck to them. It’s a bit of a wait to go down the slides, even if there isn’t a line. Considering the amount of time standing on the wood stairs, I would seriously consider wearing water shoes to avoid potentially getting foot fungus.
The interior area is very very dark and really needs to be renovated. It’s very drab looking with a bunch of plastic folding tables and chairs. There’s a small concessions area to pick up a bunch of unhealthy foods like fried oreos. The bathrooms are even older looking and I also question how clean it was… definitely keep your shoes/​flip flops on.
TL;DR: the interior areas are run down, but the pool itself isn’t bad. It’s definitely a good place to take little kids as many of them were having loads of fun. Just make sure they wear water shoes and bring your own snacks and chairs. If your group is a bunch of teenagers and older, I’d recommend going to KD or BG instead.

Prior reviews are way too harsh. This place needs some updating but the pool and inside areas were clean and it was a perfect day for my 3 year old. Would and will go again.

POSITIVE: Swim areas are huge with the added benefit of 2 huge water slides for teens and older. The other areas have age appropriate water slides for the smaller children. There is a floating frog and hippo in the center of the pool for children to climb up and sit on.
NEGATIVE:
My BIGGEST complaint is with the ladies restroom… It wreaks of urine! The toilets aren’t cleaned often or enough with the amount of traffic that comes through the establishment. The changing stalls also wreak of urine and there were panty liners, diapers sitting nearby.
The employee at the admission window is rude! She is NOT pleasant at all. This is what happens when you sometimes attend a family owned establishment… The employees do not provide good customer service because there isn’t anyone to file a complaint with. :-/​
Also, there AREN’T ANY lounge chairs on the perimeter of the pool so bring your own chair! You may also bring your own food, drink and a cooler but you may not have any glass containers.

This place is okay. Pools are plenty big and were mostly clean. Employees at the entrance were a little gruff. Lifeguards love blowing their whistles. Might be a good idea to have one of them in the water near the frog telling kids not to move it and to sit down instead of having to blow their whistles 10 times before the kids pay attention. Or perhaps parents should pay attention to their kids and what they’re doing and remind them what the rules are!
Plenty of picnic tables under large umbrellas in areas outside of the pool deck but my biggest complaint is that there were no chairs around the pool. None! No lounge chairs, no pool chairs, nothing! Some people, who obviously had been there before, brought their own but how is a person who has never been there before supposed to know this? Maybe they should put it on their website?! It would have made for a better day for us since we brought books and magazines to read because we weren’t planning on staying in the water the entire time.
Will probably go back but this time with chairs in tow!

If you’re looking for a clean, safe, and engaging place to enjoy family water fun you can’t do better than Cobblestone Water Park! We had a group of 12 people, 7 were children and two were teens. The lifeguards at Cobblestone were just AMAZING! Some of our party had experienced a drowning in their family and were unsure of being in the water. The lifeguards helped them feel comfortable on the slides and gave them lots of TLC without even knowing their tragic history. The water was clean and a perfect temperature. We had no trouble with the bathrooms, so the management must have fixed the problems that others wrote about. We loved the small slides for our toddlers, the more challenging slides for the older children, and the teens had a blast on the two large slides. We all got in for about the cost of gas in a 12 passenger van to VA Beach, so it was a bargain (we had coupons from ValPack). We all had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this water park.

I give this «water park» a very solid 4.5 stars!
Apparently this place has been around for over a decade (some of my cousins say they have been, but years ago) but renovated it and added many attractions since then. My first time here was a few years ago with a friend. I had fun then, but there was only about 30 or so people there… It’s a pretty large water park/​pool area too.
They have about 3 «baby» slides for ages 1 to 4, one slide for the bigger kids in the 4 – 10 range (although I went on it too. hehe), and two slides for 10+ individuals who want a little more excitement. They have two «separate» pools; one for ages4 and under, then a divider for another pool right next to it that probably starts at about 3 feet and goes all the way to about 5 feet to the other end. For the thrill seekers, they do have one slide about 100 – 150 feet tall that drops at about a 75 degree angle, sadly I wasn’t brave enough to do it, but it looked like fun!
I went with some of my cousins and their little ones to this park yesterday and everyone had a good time. Partly cloudy skies and it wasn’t too hot either. There was a TON of people though so be careful when going on a weekend and there’s good weather. Parking can be a little tricky so try parking on the pavement side first. Prices aren’t too bad for admission but they only take cash for food purchases. I think they use salt water instead of chlorine to tackle the germs so that’s different.
Overall, there’s about a decent amount of places to plop down your stuff and head in to the pool. There’s several picnic tables with HUGE umbrellas but gotta get there early. Me and my girlfriend just had a blast hanging out and playing with my little cousins. My favorite thing there was that they had this 6 foot tall umbrella with waterfalls coming down from all sides. Pretty family friendly place and would recommend to anyone looking to have some fun!

Woman’s restroom had hygienic liners from suits stuck on the changing benches and it looked as if they have been stuck on there for years! Gross! The owners need to clean this place up. Looked like an abandoned building in the front.
