Fremont Water Park Reopens Memorial Day

The City of Fremont’s Aqua Adventure Waterpark has reopened for its 2026 season ahead of Memorial Day, putting the city-run attraction back into operation as families prepare for the long holiday weekend. The park’s website says it will reopen in May 2026 and lists Aqua Adventure at 40500 Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont. The water park is managed through Fremont’s Parks & Recreation division, according to the city’s website.

The City of Fremont says its Parks & Recreation division manages Aqua Adventure Waterpark along with community centers, sports facilities and picnic areas.

The same page says hours can change and advises visitors to check back for special hours and discount days. The FAQ also says the park is open on weekends at the start of the season, then shifts to daily operation from June 6 through Aug. 11 before returning to weekend-only service later in the summer. The city’s calendar identifies Memorial Day on May 25, 2026, as a city-observed holiday. ### What else is on the summer schedule?
