Freedom Springs Aquatic Park in Greenwood: 2026 Guide

Freedom Springs Aquatics Park in Greenwood opens for the 2026 season on May 23 and runs through September 7. The outdoor park has the kind of mix that works for a wide age range: water slides, a lazy river, a splash area for the youngest kids and plenty of room to settle in for the afternoon.

On the south side of Greenwood, Freedom Springs offers both thrill-seeker attractions and quieter pool time. Families can stop by for a casual swim, reserve a shaded rental, sign kids up for swim lessons or watch the calendar for special events throughout the season.

Attractions, Activities and Amenities

The park has water features for every age and comfort level. Families will find a tube slide, two body slides, a drop slide, a lazy river, a 25-meter lap pool, 1-meter and 3-meter diving boards, a lily pad crossing and a splash and play area for infants and toddlers.

Cabanas and shelters are available to rent, and the park has on-site concessions plus space for seasonal events. Freedom Springs also hosts adult-only nights and wraps up the season with Puppy POOLooza, a day when dogs get their own time in the water after the regular season ends.
