Beech Bend Park
Bowling Green, Kentucky
Located on 368 acres, Beech Bend Park, has been entertaining guests since 1898. The park grounds consist of gentle rolling land with Beech Trees in a bend of the Barren River, and thus came the name Beech Bend.
Once a picnic and recreation area, today the park has grown to include an amusement park, water park, raceway and campground with 500 campsites with full hook-ups.
There amusement park has over 40 rides, including a thrilling wooden roller coaster, Kentucky Rumbler. The adjoining Splash Lagoon Waterpark offers a wave pool and activity pool, plus three waterslides, a children's play pool and large swimming pool.
For 2011, Beech Bend will expand the waterpark with the addition of Tiki Island, a four-story, interactive water play structure that will have seven waterslides and a giant tipping water bucket on top.
One of the other great things about this park is that unlimited soft drinks are included for free with admission. Parking, sunscreen and intertubes for the waterpark are also provided at no charge as well.
