NRH2O Family Water Park, often called NRH₂O, is a super fun water park located in North Richland Hills, Texas. It's owned by the City of North Richland Hills, which means it's a community park!

This awesome park first opened its gates in 1995. It's packed with exciting water slides, a cool swimming pool, a wave pool that feels like the ocean, and a relaxing lazy river. It's the perfect place to splash and play!

Dive into NRH2O's History

NRH2O made history in 1995 as the very first city-owned water park in all of Texas! When it first opened, it had three exciting water slides, a fun river, and a big swimming pool. Over the years, the park even added "dive-in" movies, where guests could watch films while floating in the water. How cool is that?

In 2016, a big TV channel, Fox News, said that NRH2O was one of the best water parks in the whole U.S. Then, in 2019, two major newspapers, The Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram, also named NRH2O as one of the top water parks in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

One of the park's most amazing rides is the Green Extreme. It's the world’s largest uphill water coaster! This giant ride is 1,161 feet long and stands 81 feet tall. Imagine zooming up and down on that! Every year, more than 250,000 people visit NRH2O to enjoy all the fun.
