Ocean Dunes Waterpark at Upton Hill Regional Park is a midsize summer waterpark designed to feel like a beach day without the drive. Official NOVA Parks materials highlight a 500-gallon dumping bucket, waterslides, waterfalls, and squirters, making it a stronger fit for kids who want more than a small spray pad. It works well for families who want a paid but manageable waterpark experience in Arlington rather than a giant all-day complex.
