Stoney Aqua Park sits at 16 Hacks Ferry Road, Telegraph Point NSW 2441 — a bright, inflatable playground anchored on a clean freshwater lake about 25 minutes west of Port Macquarie. The business converts a calm man-made lake into a high-energy course of slides, trampolines, balance beams, swings and challenge tracks that read like a playground for all ages, from small kids to groups of adults chasing weekend thrills. Aqua Park Tickets grants access to 50-minute sessions on the inflatables, or you can piece together a longer day with multiple sessions, lakeside BBQs and shaded picnic benches. The water averages about 1.5 metres deep and life jackets are supplied and compulsory; staff give a safety briefing before every session and waivers must be signed on arrival. Because the lake is rain-fed freshwater, there's no saltwater marine life like sharks — an immediate comfort for families. What makes Stoney Aqua Park special is the layout: interconnected inflatables that encourage friendly competition and playful challenges rather than passive floating. The park hosts slides built for speed, wobble-prone balance beams, springy trampolines and swing launches that end in soft splashes. On shore, change rooms, a kiosk for snacks, sun loungers and BBQs let groups stretch a single session into a full-day gathering. Stand-up paddleboards are available for quieter exploration beyond the course. Practical details matter here. Sessions start as early as 10am during operating periods; summer hours run 9am–5pm and weekend hours apply in spring and autumn. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to buy tickets, sign waivers and complete the safety brief; be dressed and ready on the beach 10 minutes before the session. Children aged 3–6 may use the park but must be accompanied by a parent or carer. Pregnant patrons and people with certain injuries are advised not to participate. Alcohol and drugs are prohibited. Beyond fast dives and laughter, Stoney Aqua Park is a community hub during NSW school holidays, pet-friendly and set against the wooded banks of the Wilson River floodplain. It’s a rare mainland inflatable park that balances safety systems and lifeguard oversight with raw, splash-forward fun — ideal for birthday parties, corporate team days, or a sun-drunk weekend with friends. If you want an energetic water day that mixes structured sessions, on-shore comforts like BBQs, and the kind of slippery challenges kids remember, this is one of the clearest, most accessible aqua-parks on the Mid North Coast. Book online or at the ticket booth and plan sessions around tides of school holidays; staff emphasize supervision, strict no-underneath rules for obstacles and prohibit risky stunts. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and a change of clothes — small habits that keep the park clean, safe, and open for everyone.
