National Landing Park was a whole other vibe. I attended a pre-ablum release party there for Eddie K Jr. There was also body art, paintings and music. Nice venue under the stars. There were different venues selling food, a water bar. There was seating available, but limited. It's best to bring your own chairs for an upclose view of the stage. It was a great night, nice diversity of attendees.

Everyone had a magical time when the School of Rock bands performed at Water Park. The music was incredible, the food (oh my gosh, the food!), the staff, parking, patrons, and the overall atmosphere were fantastic. We're excited to rock there again in Spring '25!

The Water Park at National Landing offers a fantastic concept, akin to a food truck city but with brick-and-mortar establishments lining a vibrant strip. With plenty of outdoor seating, it's an inviting spot, especially on a hot day. You can find solace under shaded umbrellas or strike up a conversation with strangers at communal tables, just as we did. Our culinary adventure included duck fat fries and a meal from Tikki Thai. While the variety of food options is impressive, our experience was mixed. The meal for two nearly cost us $100, totaling over $80 once parking across the street was factored in due to limited street parking. The Thai food, while flavorful, was excessively spicy, leaving us desperate for water. On the plus side, the Thai tea was delicious. The duck fries, however, were bland and needed a generous helping of ketchup and pepper to be palatable. We couldn't help but feel that we might have been better off at the pizza and wine spot. Additionally, the burger offerings being exclusively plant-based was a disappointment. This location would greatly benefit from a traditional beer and burger option to round out its offerings. The water bar itself is stunning, with a serene ambiance perfect for a calming break. Despite its beauty, it lacks substantial food options outside of oysters, though it would make an excellent spot for happy hour. The bar is impressive, and the water feature adds a relaxing touch to the environment. A word of caution: be prepared for a bit of a trek up the hill or a shortcut through the grass to reach the park. Overall, the Water Park at National Landing is a visually appealing spot with potential, but the food experience leaves room for improvement.

Fun shopping area with great food. We ate at the Water Bar, which was fabulous! Stylish setting overlooking the park. Outdoor area with comfortable lounge seating. Overall great prices, friendly service above average food from a chef driven menu. Nearby parking is free after 4pm on weekdays.

It's a great park that is metro accessible and linked to Boeing Bridge Park and the sports field around half a mile away. I'll be back for the waterside bar and try some other food spots as well.

Nice little peaceful area with multiple restaurant stalls and a bar. Definitely a good place to have a meal or have a drink however I must warn you of something. Do not be fooled by the name. This is not what Typically comes to mind when you think of the word “Water Park”. There are no pools, water slides, lazy river or what have you. It is merely a nice little outdoor space with a big waterfall fountain and places to sit and eat. It’s not a Traditional Water Park but it is instead a Park with Water, which is an important distinction. If you’re from out of town, see this on the map and come looking for “Wet’n’Wild” or “Monsoon Lagoon” you will be sorely disappointed. If you’re looking for a nice little social gathering place with a peaceful water feature then this is the place for you.

The vibe of the Water Park is awesome! I was there at around 9am on a Monday and two coffee shops were open. I went back at around noon the same day and all the vendors were open except for one. I got the Indigo Montoya sandwich and it was best, but delicious. My husband got two slices of pizza and said they were great!

Anyone know when they are really light up the park? We went there and everything was practically closed around lunch during the weekend and it's all outdoor seating which wasn't great when the weather changed. Think this would be cool when the lights are up and when the weather is good ‍
