Jump to Treasure Cove Water Park Sections:
Start with a journey along the lazy river, effortlessly gliding through the water park’s enchanting surroundings. Nestled beside the Lazy River, the wave pool calls you with its gentle slopes, creating a safe haven for little ones while the older kids and adults dive into the waves and deeper waters. And let’s not forget the heart-pounding thrills provided by the two towering twisting water slides nearby. In addition, a kid’s splash area awaits the younger crowd, providing lasting enjoyment.

- Little Parrots Splash Park: Little ones love playing in the water, and the kid’s splash zone is a perfect place for them to enjoy. Climbing, exploring the water features, and sliding down the 3 smaller water slides start the fun, but watch out for the large dumping water bucket. You will get soaked if you are anywhere near the splash area when it drops hundreds of gallons below.

Getting in the Water Park
It’s important to note that Treasure Cove Water Park requires a separate admission fee for guests at the Westgate Lakes Resort (Owners have complimentary access). Once you have purchased your ticket, you are given rubber wristbands granting you access to the water park fun. So, why not capture the opportunity to add an extra dose of excitement to your stay? Dive into the Westgate Lakes Treasure Cove Water Park, making your family vacation extraordinary.
The Treasure Cove Water Park has two (2) entrances. The main entrance can be accessed by walking through the Citrus Breeze Pool. The other entrance is on the back side of the water park as you walk down the parking area behind the 30-foot tall water slides.
Water Slides
Prepare for an adventure at the Treasure Cove Water Park, where excitement awaits with two water slides atop a towering 30-foot structure. Ascending to the top of the tower provides anticipation. It rewards you with panoramic views of the entire water park, the sprawling resort grounds, and the expanse of Big Sand Lake. As you reach the top landing, a lifeguard guides you to your chosen slide, building up the tension for the exciting plunge that awaits. With two sensational water slides to choose from, the Dolphin Drop and Pirates Plunge, you’re faced with an epic decision.
Pirates Plunge
- Length: Approximately 240 Feet long
- Height Restrictions: Must be 40″ or taller
The Pirates Plunge is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a water slide with twists and turns. This water slide is approximately 240 feet long and is red, orange, and yellow. It provides a more moderate and winding ride, allowing you to enjoy a thrilling experience while maintaining a slightly slower pace than other slides.
It’s a great option for those seeking excitement and a more relaxed water slide experience. If you have been to the Shipwreck Island Water Park in Westgate Town Center, you might be surprised that they also have a water slide named “The Pirates Plunge.” Trust me when I tell you, they are very different from one another.
Dolphin Drop
- Length: Approximately 165 Feet long
- Height Restrictions: Must be 40″ or taller
Looking up at the Water Slide Tower Splash Zone

If you’re up for an adventure fit for a swashbuckler, the Dolphin Drop is your ultimate challenge. Prepare for a more intense experience as you start in an enclosed tube, not knowing where the twists and turns will take you. Colorful lights distract you as you pass through the polka-dot section of the slide before the final event.
You will take a steep drop to the splash zone at the end of the ride. Even though the Dolphin Drop is shorter (about 165 feet) than the Pirate’s Plunge, it was still our favorite of Treasure Cove Water Park’s two large water slides.
Little Parrots Splash Zone
- Water Slides: Approximately Four (4) Kids Water Slides
- Interactive: Bubbling Fountains, Sprinklers and a Large Dumping Water Bucket
- Safety: Soft Rubber Pad for walking on. Lifeguards present to keep the little ones safe.
- Parents: Seating with Lounge Chairs are provided under a shady zone as well as seating around the perimeter to watch your kids while they are playing.
As you get closer to the Treasure Cove Water Park, the excitement builds. First, a large mixture of sounds can be heard, from water sprinklers, splashing water, and laughter from the kids playing.
Then, a sudden loud downpour of water commences, and squeals of excitement are heard through the park as the large bucket, full of hundreds of gallons of water, tips and soaks everyone below. Fun is never ending, at least until the park closes, at the Little Parrots Splash Zone at Treasure Cove Water Park.
Kids-sized Water Slides
The Little Parrots Splash Zone offers four (4) fun water slides designed for younger children who cannot ride the larger slides at the 30-foot tower. The Red Slide takes kids through thrilling turns in a figure-eight shape. The enclosed Yellow and Tan slides provide surprises along the way. There’s also a two-lane slide for kids to enjoy together. These smaller slides have individual splash zones, making them safer for everyone. It’s a fun and safe water play experience for smaller children.
Seating for the Parents
In addition to the exciting water slides, multiple comfortable seating areas are provided for the parents. These seating areas are strategically positioned near the action, allowing grown-ups to relax and watch their little ones closely. Shaded and comfortable spaces enable parents to relax and keep an eye on their children having a great time. With convenient seating options, the kids’ splash zone ensures that children and adults can have a fantastic and enjoyable experience at the water park.

Grab a Tube, and Enjoy the Scenery

Experience the Buccaneer Bay Wave Pool, a thrilling attraction within the Treasure Cove Water Park at Westgate Lakes Resort. This expansive pool replicates the dynamic rhythm of ocean waves, creating an exciting and engaging environment.
With its 41,540-gallon capacity and stretching 258 feet, the Buccaneer Bay Wave Pool offers an exhilarating adventure. As the waves surge through the pool, you’ll feel the rush of an ocean-like experience. Whether you choose to bob up and down with the action of the waves, leap over them, or float along, the wave pool provides endless fun and excitement.
Intesity of the Waves
As the waves approach the final shore destination, their power becomes relatively mild. Smaller waves create a better environment for smaller children who can enjoy sitting in the zero-entry section of the wave pool, feeling the gentle waves flow over them. For older kids and adults seeking a more exhilarating experience, the pool’s deepest area is the most turbulent, causing intense bobbing and providing endless fun.
Safety is important, and having Lifeguards stationed around the wave pool area ensures the safety of all visitors.
