During the summer temperatures can soar and you’ll be looking for a place to beat the heat. West Virginia’s lakes and rivers are fantastic places to take a dip but if you prefer the refreshing waters of a pool, here’s one spot you won’t want to miss. The pool at East Marion Park isn’t just any regular pool, it’s a wave pool and you’re going to love it!
East Marion Park in Fairmont is a family-fun destination with a playground, hiking trails, sports fields, and more. But the biggest draw during the summer is their pool.

This is no ordinary swimming spot - the wave pool is one of two pools of its kind in the tri-state area. Jump in and ride the waves without having to hit the beach!

The pool has a shallow graded entry just like you’d find at the beach with plenty of shallows to splash around in.
