A city-owned water park in Dallas, Texas, received heavy backlash for advertising a “Muslims only” day at the facility and was pressured into backing down after several high-profile figures questioned the move on social media.
The private event, set for June 1, would have closed Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark to non-Muslims, which raises legal questions, considering that it gets public funding through a voter-approved sales tax, according to the Dallas Express.
The 80,000-square-foot park, which has received rave reviews over the past few years, was set to host the “3rd Annual DFW Epic Eid” organized by the East Plano Islamic Center.
After a flyer for the Muslims-only event began circulating on social media, Sarah Gonzales of The Blaze drew attention to it. The original flyer read “Muslim only event,” but was later changed to “Modest dress only.”
“ISLAMIFICATION ALERT Grand Prairie, TX has an indoor water park called Epic Waters (no relation to EPIC city),” she wrote Sunday on the social media site X.
Gonzales added, “It is owned by the city & now has a MUSLIM ONLY event on June 1st, with halal food, and a private prayer area. The event is closed to the public- Muslims only.”
The updated flyer for the event stated that there will be a “private prayer area,” “Halal food,” and asked female attendees to wear “burkinis,” while men are required to wear swim trunks and shirts.
The event page previously noted that men and women would not be separated, but that people would be encouraged to “uphold Islamic etiquette” and comply with a modest dress code aligned with Muslim beliefs.
Nationally syndicated radio host Dana Loesch mentioned the taxpayer-funded and city-owned elements, writing on X that, “There would be literal riots if Muslims were similarly excluded and we all know that’s 100% accurate.”

TEXAS NEEDS TO PUT THE HAMMER DOWN
Maybe its the day before they drain the park and put fresh water in...
(Yes i know they dont do it this way...)
Jewish Day, Black Day, Asian Day, Womens Day, Kids Day, Mens Day, etc.

This was published yesterday.
The event was cancelled after attorneys got involved-discrimination is not okay in a public space like that-might as well try to have a Black, White, Asian, Italian, Catholic, Mormon only event-it is still discrimination...
No full body Burkas allowed in the pool
AMERICA needs to put the hammer down!!
I realize that may be sarcasm, but I assure you, those will be there!
Last summer at our tiny little town’s swimming pool, I had occasion to witness Muslim women fully clothed with headwear on in the kiddie pool with their little ones. I never realized we had so many Muslim families in our community until that day.
Our town is about 10,000 people but growing each year. We are the suburbs of the suburbs, meaning, we are semi rural. Lots of farmland here, but we are the county seat so have a courthouse and a government building for the county.
I can only imagine in this new Muslim city in Texas that there will be full burkas going on, every day. Honestly, I’m surprised that they even allow their women to go to a pool to cool off.
Big time.
Pronto.
They are all over our country. Their goal is to conquer us and force us to convert (revert) to their political religion.
There are as many mosques in this country as there are syndgogues. Next year there will be more.
Yeah, no doubt they want to overtake us, so we have to stand our ground. This is an invasion. They don’t want to assimilate, even more than other groups. They want US to assimilate to them. Not happening from me, and if I perish, I perish.

Those people will be a NEVER-ENDING problem, deportation is the ONLY way to deal with it, and the time to do that is NOW!

Discrimination in some circumstances is a good thing and should be encouraged. That should be obvious to everyone with a basic knowledge of history.
Churches and all sorts of private venues discriminate all the time-even in their hiring practices-and that is fine-their money, their choice. But you can’t do it in a public, tax funded venue that every citizen pays for...

Because if someone doesn’t like what smells like discrimination going on in a tax funded public space-like the one in the article-they will complain, get attorneys involved and all hell will break loose-like it did in this case. If you want a private event for only those of your faith/race/whatever, spend your money on a private venue-there is no shortage of those...
Thanks-I’ve never read any of the conditions/rules for booking SA park facilities. I live 50 miles away in a rural are but even if I did live there, no one could pay me to book there for an event-those parks in the city are not safe places, even for paying guests. There are plenty of private event venues in Kerrville-it is closer, safe, you can do as you please and they cost less than SA, even for a top-rated site like one of the big guest ranches or nice hotels...
