Coney Island’s 2021 season will begin Monday, June 7. The opening, originally scheduled for May 29, was delayed due to a leak in a water main in the Sunlite Pool area. The issue has been repaired.

“Coney Island is excited to welcome guests for a 2021 season filled with new attractions and family favorites. We thank everyone for their patience as we worked to ensure a safe and top-notch experience in the Sunlite Water Adventure Area,” said Rob Schutter, president of Coney Island.
Coney Island has long been synonymous with summer. As home to North America’s largest recirculating pool, Sunlite Pool, Cincinnati’s leading aquatic center and entertainment venue is adding even more fun this year, with a new Challenge Zone, the largest Aquaglide pool obstacle course in the nation, and Action Alley, which will offer arts and crafts along with games. Families can still enjoy their longtime favorites, the Twister water slides, Typhoon Tower giant splashground, Cannonball Cove dive pool and Storybook Paddleboats.

The brand new Challenge Zone is a massive floating obstacle course with more than 150 feet of climbing obstacles, monkey bars, balance beams and more. The Challenge Zone will be the largest Aquaglide pool obstacle course in the United States and will challenge even the most agile.
The Challenge Zone will feature a number of obstacles including
King of the Mountain – Designed with a slide and multiple climbing holds, experience the thrill of going up nearly seven feet before jumping or sliding into the pool
Freefall Extreme – A 10-foot-tall ladder-style climbing wall connected to a slide with an impressive drop
Monkey Dome – More than 10 feet tall and three ways to cross. It will challenge strength and endurance
Neptune –Race yourself or an opponent to see who can get across faster. Use your arms to hold on and navigate through the obstacle
Overpass –Climb over this challenge or find an optional route for less daring participants.
Over in Action Alley kids will find even more fun including
Jump Pad – Children will be happy and entertained while jumping with their friends on the huge colorful, inflatable pad. It’s good exercise too
Connect 4 Basketball - Connect 4, but with basketball! Throw basketballs into a column and win with four-in-a-row
Foam Parties - Have a party with bubbles galore
Gaga Pit - The object of Gaga is to hit the ball at or below opponents’ knees to eliminate them from the pit. The last one left in the Gaga Pit is the winner
Arts and Crafts - With chalk easels, paper crafts, painting, and more, arts and crafts at Action Alley is a great way to release your creativity!
Action Alley will be open daily 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. each day during the Coney Island 2021 season, and it’s included with a Sunlite Water Adventure admission or season pass.
