HEAD’S UP, SUMMER VISITORS!
2025 Season Update: Wibit Water Park Will Remain Closed This Summer
The Wibit Water Park at Grindstone Lake will not open for the 2025 season. While we know this is a favorite summer activity for many, current conditions have made setup and operation unfeasible this year. We appreciate your understanding and encourage visitors to explore the lake’s other outdoor recreation options, including swimming, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and more. The Municipal Pool opened as scheduled on Memorial Day weekend on 5/24/25 at 11:00 a.m. For more info, call 575-257-5030.
