Pirates Bay Water Park, located at the Wayne Gray Sports Complex, 5300 East Road in Baytown, is a Caribbean-themed, 4-acre water park. Operated by the Baytown Parks and Recreation Department, the family-friendly resort-styled park opened the summer of 2010.

Pirates Bay features attractions for everyone with 2 Beach style “zero-entry” pools, a large active and colorful Pirate themed water play center complete with a large dumping bucket and an awesome array of spray nozzles, tot slides, and water guns, a 671 foot long lazy river, three large slide towers and a 10,000 square foot wave pool.  Slides include fun for both kids and adults alike with innertube slides, body slides, racing slides, drop slides and the new boomerango slide.

Beach-style, “zero–entry” pools (gradually sloping from the deck into the water, becoming deeper with each step, in the manner of a natural beach) is ideal for older people or families with young children.  The feature attraction is the Flowrider surfing machine. The Flowrider provides an endless moving mountain of water with all the excitement of ocean surfing that challenges all who enter. Surfer boys and girls can ride the waves with an audience, as there is always a crowd watching. A wave pool, two new slides and a concession area were added in 2014.  The park also features a climbing wall, crossing challenge, and a small rectangular pool for lap swimming and swim lessons programs. The two concession stands offer hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders and pizza; and covered picnic areas invite visitors to rest between activities. The Crow’s Nest, an air conditioned meeting room, is available year-round for rentals for family reunions and company outings.

The park also offers five party tents and two large pavilions available for rentals for birthday parties or family get-togethers.

Visitors enjoy free tubes, free parking and are welcome to bring coolers, provided no glass bottles or alcoholic beverages are brought onsite.
