The long-running Henderson waterpark is closing for good, ending a summer ritual for families across the southeast valley.
Cowabunga Bay, the Henderson waterpark that has drawn families every summer since 2014, is shutting down permanently, according to a statement the park announced this week. The closure removes one of the city’s most recognizable warm-weather attractions from the valley’s entertainment map.
The announcement did not spell out a detailed reason for the decision, but the news lands as Henderson families are still sorting out where to send kids for slides, lazy rivers and day-long summer outings. The park’s closure also leaves Cowabunga Bay’s Summerlin counterpart as the remaining local park in the brand.
For residents of Henderson, the loss is more than symbolic. It means one fewer destination built around the long, punishing months when indoor escapes and splash-friendly outings are part of the rhythm of life in Southern Nevada.
Details & Information: Cowabunga Bay was located in Henderson. The park announced the permanent shutdown this week; no reopening date was offered in the source material.
