Commercial-Grade Water Parks. Built In-House.

We Build the Water Parks That Tennessee Loves

You may have experienced our work without even knowing it. Pools by Elio built the famous lazy river at Sound Waves inside Gaylord Opryland — one of Tennessee’s most visited water attractions. We’ve also built bars in downtown Nashville and large-scale commercial aquatic facilities across the state.

With over 25 years of industry experience, we understand what makes a commercial water park successful: durability, safety, flow management, and guest experience. Jonathan Elio Rodriguez is hands-on with every commercial project. Everything is done in-house — no subcontractors. That means faster timelines, better quality control, and a single point of accountability.

“There is no job too big. From Gaylord Opryland to your commercial development — we build water parks that draw crowds.”

Slow Rides, Big Smiles

We’ve built one of the most iconic lazy rivers in Tennessee at Gaylord Opryland’s Sound Waves. From current generation to landscaping, entry/exit points, and tube storage — we design lazy rivers that keep guests floating all day.

Ocean-Style Waves, Inland

From rolling ripples to deep-water swells — we design and build wave pools for hotels, water parks, and municipalities. Includes wave generation equipment, beach-style entry, and safety systems.

Interactive Water Play

Zero-depth entry pools, dumping buckets, water cannons, spray tunnels, and ground geysers. Perfect for family-friendly water parks, community centers, and hotel kid zones.

Thrills for All Ages

Body slides, tube slides, bowl slides, and multi-lane racers. We partner with leading slide manufacturers and handle all site work, plumbing, landing pools, and safety certification.

Endless Waves for Endless Fun

Stationary wave surf simulators are a massive draw for any water park. We handle installation, water circulation, filtration, and surrounding deckin

Safe Fun for Little Ones

Shallow kiddie pools with interactive spray features, mini slides, and soft-play surfaces. Designed with safety and visibility in mind.

For Swim Teams & Events

For municipalities, schools, and athletic clubs — we build regulation competition pools with lane lines, timing systems, and spectator seating.
