Our final stop on our trip to Port Macquarie is Stoney Park, this is one great spot to visit for all the family.
The Aqua Park is based on a man made lake sourced from a fresh rain water catchment. This allows Stoney Aqua Park to maintain a safe and controlled environment. No sharks, guaranteed!!
Slides, blast bags, trampolines, swings, challenge tracks, balance beams, wobble pads and chill out areas are just a few of the many and varied features enclosed within the extensive walkways and floating tracks of the course.
On shore they have extensive shade structures, BBQ areas that require $1 coins to operate, change rooms, picnic benches and sun loungers. A kiosk is provided for your convenience and comfort under the natural shaded environment and white sandy lake front.
Stoney Aqua Park will welcome you for the day or just for a few hours. If you have a party, breakup or celebration of any sort we offer a great option for groups large or small.
Not only is it a water park but it also has caravan sites and camping as well as cabins available, amenities block and kiosk, so the parents can sit back and enjoy while the kids jump on all the water activities.
