The park utilizes high-quality mineral-rich water pumped directly from the mountain region.
It is specifically designed to function as an all-season aquatic facility, transitioning from ski-season recreation to summer outdoor activity.
The water park architecture is themed to evoke an island atmosphere despite its high-altitude, landlocked location in the Taebaek Mountains.
The facility is physically connected to the wider Yongpyong Resort complex, which served as a major venue for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
YongPyong Water Park, branded as Peak Island, is an alpine-themed water complex located within the Yongpyong Resort in Pyeongchang. The facility features both indoor and outdoor pools, utilizing natural mineral water sourced from the region. Key attractions include high-speed tube slides, a lazy river, and various hydro-massage zones designed to alleviate muscle fatigue. The park is integrated into the larger ski resort infrastructure, making it a primary destination for post-ski recreation. Its design mimics a tropical oasis set against the backdrop of the Gangwon-do mountain range. The facility incorporates saunas and relaxation areas suitable for year-round operation. It serves as a family-oriented leisure hub for visitors to the Pyeongchang-gun area.
The outdoor pool area provides a scenic backdrop featuring the surrounding mountain peaks of the Taebaek range.
Bring a swimming cap, as most indoor water facilities in South Korea strictly enforce their use.
Rent a waterproof phone pouch to protect electronics while utilizing the slides and outdoor zones.
Visit during the off-peak shoulder season to avoid significant crowding from resort guests.
Avoid visiting on major public holidays or weekend peaks during the ski season, when the facility experiences heavy congestion.
Operating hours fluctuate based on the resort's seasonal ski and summer schedules; occasionally closed for maintenance between high seasons.
Swimming caps are mandatory; swimwear must be appropriate for a family water park; outdoor footwear is prohibited on the pool deck.
