Wild Island is a water park located off I-80 in the city of Sparks, Nevada. The park is the only one in the vicinity of the double city.[citation needed]
Wild Island opened in June 1989 and has grown and expanded throughout its history. The park originally opened with only five attractions and two pools and has since added numerous other attractions. The park is usually open from the third weekend in May to the Fourth weekend in September giving its guests one of the longest water park seasons on the west coast.[citation needed]
In the summer of 2020 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor of Nevada gave approval to the park to open at 50% capacity.[1]
