Wilson Park Pool Is Turning Movie Night into a Pool Party
Fayetteville’s Wilson Park Pool is swapping lane lines for a big screen, and your float is the only seat you need. There’s something genuinely fun about watching a movie while bobbing in the water. No sticky theater floors, no overpriced stadium seating, just you, the open sky, and a film flickering on as the sun goes down. The Dive-In Movie Series has a way of turning a regular summer night into something you’ll actually remember.

Lights, Water, Action
The City of Fayetteville’s Dive-In Movie Series, presented by Pediatric Dental Associates & Orthodontics, gives you a way to catch a film you actually have to swim to. This summer’s lineup features two dates: Zootopia 2 on June 19 and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on July 17.
What to Know Before You Go
Bring your own float and claim your spot early. Concessions are available on-site, so leave outside food and drinks at home. If a movie gets pushed due to weather, your ticket carries over to the new date.
Grab advance tickets for $1 at goplayfay.com/recreation before heading to the gate.
