Cool off, beat the heat and have a blast at the Town of Queen Creek's annual Monsoon Madness summer event presented by Splash Zone, LLC. The wettest and muddiest event of the summer, Monsoon Madness will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 12 at Founders' Park, 22407 S. Ellsworth Road.
From tiny tots to moms and dads, Monsoon Madness includes a variety of ways for the whole family to cool off and have some fun! The Town of Queen Creek brings the water park home with event festivities including a selection of inflatable water slide attractions, a 100-foot Soap and Slide, a "human car wash", splash pad from Splash Zone, dunk tank and Queen Creek's signature Monsoon MudSlide (participants of the MudSlide must provide a waiver signed by a parent or guardian and must wear laced tennis shoes at all times).
Included in the excitement is the return of the Itty-Bitty Play Zone, an area specially tailored for children ages 4 and under. Itty-Bitty attractions include a variety of water toys, an exclusive water inflatable, bubble mania and a discovery dig, where toddlers search for hidden treasures.
The event will also feature Queen Creek's inaugural Mad Mud Volleyball (MMV) tournament. The muddy, one-day tournament will be conducted as a six-versus-six, double-elimination battle to determine the best mud volleyball team in Town. Team registration is $50 and includes an official MMV event T-shirt for each player. The championship team will be awarded a $100 voucher for an exclusive team party at Uncle Bear's Grill & Bar.
Monsoon Madness is sponsored in part by Queen Creek Marketplace, the UPS Store, Uncle Bear's Grill & Bar, Salt River Project and the Gilbert Republic. Admission to the event and participation at the Monsoon MudSlide are free; additional activities and food vendors have nominal fees.
