'Being able to have the option for families to come and enjoy our park on a day like this, it's a great holiday weekend and is the unofficial start of summer. We have great areas to relax, cook food, and enjoy time with the family, which is what we're all about. It's about family and having safe fun here. That's what it's all about,' said Gorman.
While the park has been open every weekend since May 3, Sunday marked opening day for Water World over at Waldameer.
Summer hours go into full effect starting Friday, June 6.
