Welcome to South Park Wave Pool, your summer destination for family fun and aquatic adventure! Located at 280 Wave Pool Drive in Bethel Park, PA 15102, this local gem is one of the four wave pools proudly operated by Allegheny County, along with those in Boyce, Settlers Cabin, and North Parks.
Our wave pool features a unique water entry ramp that starts at a gentle one-inch depth, gradually increasing to deeper waters, making it accessible and enjoyable for swimmers of all ages and abilities. Whether you're looking to ride the waves or simply relax by the water, South Park Wave Pool offers a refreshing escape from the summer heat.
In addition to our thrilling wave pool, Allegheny County also boasts the historic 2 million gallon swimming pool at North Park, equipped with a mechanical lift for easy access, a zero-depth baby pool, and a splash pad area perfect for young children. For even more aquatic fun, be sure to visit the spray parks in Deer Lakes and Round Hill Parks.
Our pool operates daily from 11:30 am to 7:00 pm, weather permitting. Please note that if the pool does not open by 2:00 pm due to inclement weather, it will remain closed for the rest of the day. The pool season runs from June through Labor Day Weekend, and all operations are subject to the discretion of our facility managers.

"What a fun day out with the family. I took my daughter and grand daughter to SPWP and they had a blast. I couldn’t get them out of the water. Plus it’s affordable and clean (including the changing rooms and restrooms). Very well staffed with life guards which was very impressive to see. The pool is huge with plenty of room still even for how busy it was."
"It's one of the best pool I ever go to but there is just one problem you can't bring food but anything else 5 star"
"Had an absolutely wonderful time with my kids. Safe, clean, and a great way to spend one of the few weekend days I get off a year lol."
"Took my 10 yard.twin grandsons and we had a blast!!Along with my 32 or.old son and 35 yet.old.daughter!! We all rode the waves and had so much fun!! The only thing we weren't real happy about was the bell would ring and the waves came out for 1 min ..many times and would stop!! We were all disappointed when this would happen!!"
"I would have given this no stars but, its not an option. We decided to come here instead of Mineral Beach. That was our biggest mistake. Before coming I searched the web for any and all info that I could find about the wave pool, the info I found was very limited so we decided we would give it a try anyways. We got here pretty late in the evening paid full price and entered. Ok, no big deal. Immediately after entering I see the No Refund sign, again, ok no big deal. I then find the list of rules which state you are not allowed to bring any outside food or drink in. Again, no biggie. Reading down it goes on to say no outside flotation devices (you can rent one for $5 and get $1 of that back from the deposit) it also lists no safety devices for children, no life jackets, vests, arm flotation devices, nothing. The reason for this rule? They are a false sense of security and since your child is not wearing this device it means you will stay with your child and not leave them or let them out of your reach. I am not sure who came up with this idea but I counted within the first 15 minutes of being at the pool 12 kids under the age of 3 roaming freely, no supervision in sight. Life guards wrapped in towels, dozing off, reprimanding a boy about laying in a rented floaty in the grass. Regardless of whether a parent is with their child or not, no matter how careful or safe, this idea of no safety devices is going to and probably already has cost a childs life. Reading through the reviews and seeing a child almost drown just a short time ago here, chances are good that would have never happened with the extra safety of a life jacket. The pool has now been closed because of a lighting warning in the area for 45mins not a cloud around, not a single drop of rain, nothing. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! GO TO MINERAL BEACH INSTEAD, GO TO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN HERE! UPDATE: It is now 7:10pm the pool is completely closed even though its supposed to close at 7:30 everyone including the lifegruards left around 6:30-6:45 and closed the pool down at 6:15 even though they (they being the main guy in charge "Ray" claims they would re-open) were supposed to open within 5 or 10 minutes. We were told that the golf course was the one making the calls and letting them know when their lighting alarm went off and on. I called the golf course at 7pm and spoke with a man who informed me that their alarm had been cleared OVER 20 minutes ago. This place has stolen hundreds of dollars from good, honest people some of which I spoke to today. Its a shame this place is allowed to continue doing this."
