About Clarksville Cove
Clarksville Cove is the municipal aquatic center for Clarksville, Indiana, a Louisville-metro town just across the Ohio River from downtown Louisville. Run by Clarksville Parks and Recreation, it bills itself as Southern Indiana's favorite aquatic center. The park is built around swimming pools and water slides, which makes it a straightforward, affordable pick for a local summer day rather than a full destination water park. The season is short: it opens in late May and runs daily into early August, then shifts to weekend-only hours before closing for the year, with daily hours of 11am to 6pm. Because it is a community facility, weekday mornings tend to be the calmest time to go, and there is free parking on site. Admission prices are not posted online, so call the park to confirm current rates before you visit.

Tips for Visiting
Best time to go
Late June through mid-August. Weekday mornings are quietest. Skip the week of the 4th of July and the first week most schools let out.
Save money
Online tickets typically save you a few dollars over the gate price; even at lower-priced parks it adds up for a family. Outdoor parks usually drop ticket prices after 3pm or 4pm; if you're a half-day family that schedule alone can save 30%.
Getting there
Clarksville Cove sits in Clarksville, Indiana. Arrive 15 minutes before opening. Lots fill fastest on Saturdays and the lots farthest from the gate fill last — useful if you don't mind the walk.
Who it's best for
Fits a wide range of ages. Worth a scouting lap when you arrive so each member of your group knows where their favorite area is before lines start to build.
