New water park set to open Friday
Winston Lake Park is being turned into the Winston Lake Aquatic Park, which will open Friday, May 25.
City residents are invited to join Mayor Allen Joines and members of the Winston-Salem City Council as they open the new Winston Waterworks aquatic park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May 25, at the park, which is at the corner of Waterworks and Winston Lake roads off New Walkertown Road.
The ribbon cutting will be held at 11 a.m., after which the park will be open until 3 p.m. Free souvenir beach towels with the Winston Waterworks logo will be distributed at the ribbon cutting as long as supplies last.
The Winston Waterworks will also be open each day of the Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, from noon to 6 p.m. The facility includes a pool, a lazy river, a spray ground, waterslides, restrooms, changing rooms and a concessions area.
The Winston Waterworks was built with $5 million in bonds that voters approved in the November 2014 bond referendum. For more information about this and other 2014 bond projects, go to 2014Bonds.CityofWS.org.
