Address: Cmo. de las Salinas, 10, 04740 Roquetas de Mar, Almería

Just a short drive from Almería, Mario Park has been a summer staple in Roquetas de Mar since 1998—making it the oldest water park in the province. It’s a nostalgic kind of fun: old-school waterslides, wide green areas, and that laid-back Costa de Almería vibe that makes you want to stay all day. If you’re road-tripping through Andalusia, this is a perfect cool-down spot.
The park is totally family-friendly, with zones for kids, adrenaline rides for thrill-seekers, and a wave pool for when you just want to float. It’s not a mega-resort-style park, but that’s its charm—it feels local, relaxed, and just right for a chill summer day. Grab a lounger, hit the slides, and order an ice cream without queuing for half an hour.
Fun fact: it was named after its founder Mario, a local businessman who saw the need for a proper splash zone in this sunny stretch of coast. Open every summer from June through early September, it’s a popular pick with Spanish families—and if you’re into authentic, low-key travel experiences, it hits the mark.
