JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — The future of Adventure Landing is back in the limelight as the water park nears the end of its 2025 season.

Adventure Landing posted Saturday morning about this being the final weekend of the year for the waterpark.

However, a spokesperson told First Coast News they’ve decided to extend it until Oct. 13th, which is Columbus Day, due to the turnout they’ve had and the weather staying warm.

Extensions have become a recurring theme for Adventure Landing the last few years, and it’s left some folks wondering how many more times they’ll get to go down the slides.

“My favorite part is probably the rage. It has a bunch of jets and you go into the lazy river,” Wheeler Woods said while drying off after a day spent at Shipwreck Island.

As season pass holders, brothers Wheeler and Reed Woods have had plenty of opportunities to figure out their favorite ride at Adventure Landing.

They enjoy the minigolf, go karts and laser tag.

“I won with 2,300 points,” Wheeler said.

But, it’s clear their main attraction is Shipwreck Island.

“Reed just got tall enough to do the Eye of the Storm and the Halfpipe,” he said.

The Woods thought Saturday may be their last chance to take on those rides when Adventure Landing posted the Waterpark would close at the end of September.

However, the extension to Columbus Day is just the latest in a long line of extensions to keep the park open.

Adventure Holdings LLC filed for bankruptcy in 2021 and announced it’d be closing at the end of that year.

Then, Jacksonville Beach city leaders approved a rezoning in 2022 to build apartments on the property, yet, the amusement park is still kicking after extending a fourth time to come back for a 30th anniversary this year.

Jacksonville City Council Member Rory Diamond told First Coast News the property’s agent said it’s “TBD” on if the slides will still be pumping water next year.

Adventure Landing also announced last year it was planning to “develop another water park location.”

“We don’t have a lot of amusement parks here in the city, so I guess it would be missed if people had to drive further to go,” Reggie Pugh said while relaxing by some of the slides.

As he reclined back in his beach chair, Pugh tried not to think about if this was the last time he’d see his grandkids splashing around in Shipwreck Island.

“I got grandkids, so that thought can’t cross my mind because they’ll want to come sometime,” Pugh said.

A spokesperson said they should have an announcement on the waterpark’s future once it closes for the season in two weeks.

She said the batting cages, minigolf and arcade will remain open for the time being, even when the waterpark is closed.
