2 reviews for Sandcastle
I'm not into waterparks as much as I am into amusement parks. I go to Sandcastle maybe once a year. But my Chicago friend Catherine came in to visit for the weekend and after a day at the zoo, we donned our swimsuits and came here. The main part of the park is closed in the evenings, but the Sandbar and the Sandbar Pool and the Hot Tub remain open for the 21 and over set. The Sandbar has a great menu of food and drinks and has a $6.00 cover charge to get in. Occasionally there's live entertainment.
It's hard to believe that before they built this place, it was the site of an abandoned steel mill. Actually, it was the railroad yard for the nearby Homestead Works. But after site-clearing and clean-up, they turned it into a beautiful place to spend a warm day or nice evening. The view across the Mon is quite beautiful with a wooded hillside on the other side. There's even a boat dock, so you can arrive by river if you desire.
I'm glad I renewed my acquaintance with this place and hopefully, I'll get another chance to come back.

This is one of my favorite waterparks in the country. They have a decent number of slides, a wave pool, lazy river, several swimming pools, and an old-style boardwalk with games, shops, and go-kart racing. The real treasure here is the scenery. This waterpark is situated on the Monongahela river, complete with boat dock, so the views of the river valley, especially from the top of the slides, are amazing. The full season price for this place makes it a no-brainer. After hours there is the over-21 Sandbar as well with several bars, a hot tub, music, etc.
