The park is situated in the village of Bakrour, which holds historical significance as the traditional site where Sujata offered milk-rice to the Buddha.
The facility represents one of the few modern commercial entertainment developments in the immediate vicinity of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Mahabodhi Temple.
It is geographically positioned on the eastern side of the Phalgu River, distinct from the main temple complex on the western bank.
Bodhgaya Water Park is the primary aquatic recreation facility in the Gaya district, located on the Bakrour Shilauga Road. It features a range of water slides, a wave pool, and dedicated splash areas for children. The facility is designed for family-oriented recreation, offering paved walkways and seating areas adjacent to the swimming zones. Water filtration systems are maintained on-site to facilitate public use of the pools. The park serves as a modern contrast to the surrounding historical and religious sites of Bodh Gaya. It is a purpose-built leisure complex catering to locals and tourists seeking relief from regional heat.
The central elevated slide platform offers the best panoramic view of the entire park.
Bring your own high-quality sunscreen and a waterproof pouch for mobile devices.

Operations may be seasonally limited or adjusted during heavy monsoon weather; it is advisable to check for weather-related closures.
