Clementon Park and Splash World is a combined amusement park and water park in Clementon, New Jersey, USA.[1]
History
Clementon Park was acquired by Premier Parks in 2011.[2] On September 8, 2019, Premier Parks closed the park. The closure was unannounced, with guests arriving for a customer appreciation day on September 15 to find the park closed. No formal announcement was made, and the park's social media accounts were taken offline around this time.[3][4] The park was listed for public auction in March 2021 It was offered for sale as individual attractions or the park as a whole. The bid for the park was greater than the combined bids for its individual assets and was purchased for $2.6 million by IB Parks & Entertainment.[1] The park partially reopened in June, with the water park fully open and a selection of amusement rides operating.[5]
