Pirate’s Bay Water Park in Leesburg has re-opened following what was reportedly an employee walk-out earlier this week, spurred in large part by what many have called “safety concerns”.

Some concerns reportedly included: exceeding park capacity, failing to have a proper number of lifeguards on duty in ratio to visitors, a lack of equipment among the staff (such as walkie-talkies) and so on.

On Thursday morning (June 9th) WEIS Radio spoke with the Pirate’s Bay Director of Marketing, Cherilyn Johnson Chiang – and according to Chiang everything at the park is in proper order, and they’re open for business as usual.  Earlier this week, the water park’s Facebook page contained a post that stated “some comments have been made In regard to safety, and after a thorough investigation, we can confirm that all nationally accepted policies and procedures were followed since opening Pirate’s Bay Water Park in 2022, and they’ll continued to be followed in the future.”

The water park recently underwent a change in ownership, along with changes in the management of the facility.
