Pirate’s Day Returns to Pohick Bay

Pohick Bay Regional Park will once again be under attack on Sat. June 13.
 
Be on hand for this fun annual event as pirate’s storm the beach at Pohick Bay, on their way to Pirate’s Cove Waterpark in Lorton.

The day begins with a living history village, which will display and demonstrate various parts of pirate culture, history and every day life. At 1 p.m., all hands will be on deck as a ship loaded with pirates anchors at Pohick Bay. A battle at the marina will ensue, completing at Pirate’s Cove Waterpark (from 2 to 3 p.m.). The day will conclude with a variety of children’s activities and living history. It’s a day of great food, great fun and so much more. Ahoy!

Pirate’s Cove Waterpark contains a pirate-themed play feature with a giant dumping barrel, two kid-friendly slides and water spraying palm trees. A tot pool features a clam shell slide, spraying jets and crab and fish tiles throughout. In and around the pool area, giant fiberglass pirates and large parchment signs adorn the deck and provide stories and information about the real golden age of piracy. One of the most popular features is Buccaneer Beach, where young scallywags can dig for buried coins and redeem their findings for eye patches, plastic swords and other treasures.
