Sydney Action Park: Sydney’s Exciting New Water Theme Park
If your family has ever made the summer trip out to Prospect for a big slide-filled day out, you already know this site. Sydney’s biggest water theme park has had a few names over the years — Wet’n’Wild, then Raging Waters — and now it’s entering a new era as Sydney Action Park. Here’s everything parents need to know right now.
What Is Sydney Action Park?
Sydney Action Park is the new name and vision for the water theme park located at 427 Reservoir Road, Prospect — the same beloved site that families have been visiting for over a decade. Six friends have come together to take ownership of the park, with a clear mission: repair, refresh, and reimagine it as a true Sydney icon.
The team is currently renovating and upgrading the park from top to bottom — cleaning, re-theming precincts, and building a new identity that celebrates Sydney and everything that makes this city great. Think of it as a full reset, not just a name change.
When Does Sydney Action Park Open?
The park is currently closed for renovations with a planned reopening this summer (November 2026). Exact dates haven’t been locked in yet, so the best way to stay ahead is to:
- Sign up to the newsletter at sydneyactionpark.com.au
- Follow their social media channels for announcements
- Check their online calendar once dates are released
What’s Changing at the Park?
Quite a lot — and all in the right direction. Here’s what the new team has confirmed:
A Brand New Look and Feel
The park is being re-themed throughout, with new precinct names and engaging theming inspired by Sydney and Australian culture. Expect brighter spaces, fresh energy, and a vibe that feels genuinely new.
More Operating Days
Sydney Action Park is planning a longer operating season than previous years, which is great news for families trying to squeeze in a visit during school holidays or on weekends.
Free Parking
Yes, parking will be free. This is a big one for families. The team has confirmed it as a priority for the new season.
New Rides and Attractions on the Way
The team has flagged that future upgrades will include coaster-style water rides and other major additions. Details are still being confirmed, but the direction is exciting.
I Have a Raging Waters Season Pass — Will It Still Work?
Yes. Sydney Action Park has confirmed all existing Raging Waters season passes will be honoured for the season. The benefits structure will align to the new season pass format, so some perks may differ — but you’ll still get in, plus free parking is included. If you’ve already bought a pass, you’re good to go.
What Was Here Before? A Quick History
For newer families to the area, here’s the quick backstory:
- 2013: Opened as Wet’n’Wild Sydney by Village Roadshow Theme Parks
- 2019: Rebranded to Raging Waters Sydney under new owner Parques Reunidos
- 2026: Now becoming Sydney Action Park under a new team of six local owners
The 25-hectare site has always been Sydney’s largest water theme park, and that’s not changing — it’s just getting a well-deserved refresh.
