When I was growing up, one of my favorite summer time activities was when my mom would haul my siblings and I to the water park in Grand Forks. It was a blast! I believe there were only four slides – 2 little slides and 2 HUGE slides. I’m sure the HUGE slides were regular sized but when I was younger and walking up the 50 flights of stairs – ok, it wasn’t 50 flights but my quads remember the feeling – and waiting in line to go down. You could see the entire city of Grand Forks at the top of the tower before jumping down the slide. The Goodwill Store on S Washington is the location of that park. Even though that water park no longer exists, there are still several fun water spots in town.
There are several outdoor swimming pools and spray parks through the town. Hope you can enjoy the warm summer days at one of these great parks.
