📍 Greater Thonotosassa, FL
The Cove Tampa on McCormick Lake in Seffner combines a cable wakeboard park with Otter Island — a Ninja Warrior-style inflatable water park with slides and obstacle courses. Lifeguards supervise the aqua park.
Amazing!! what a blast. Pro shop open often.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Families with younger kids will focus on Otter Island's supervised inflatable aqua park, which has lifeguard coverage and suits a wide age range. Older kids and teens can progress to the cable wake park with staff support. Non-riding parents have a proper lakeside viewing area, making it workable for mixed groups.

“My favorite place in Tampa. I used to visit back when it was McCormicks and the place looks completely different now. All new unit features that get rearranged every few months keeps it interesting every time I go back. The new bathrooms and aqua park are also great. You can tell the staff takes pride in their work and it shows. A lot of improvements on the property too and the riders and crew are very helpful especially when just learning to ride. I highly recommend checking out the Cove!”
