Taxpayer-Funded Water Park In Texas Announces “Muslim-Only Day”

This is a sure way to have your business boycotted. A water park in Texas has announced it will host a “Muslim-only” day. A flyer circulating on X shows Epic Waters waterpark promoting a Muslim-only day, including a halal food menu and a modest dress code. Take a look: ISLAMIFICATION ALERT Grand Prairie, TX has an indoor water park called Epic Waters (no relation to EPIC city). 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. pic.twitter.com/c7qgyKhCN7 — Sara Gonzales (@SaraGonzalesTX) May 4, 2026 The Daily Mail reported more details on the water park’s plans: A taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark has sparked backlash by organizing a Muslim-only day to celebrate Eid. Epic Waters in Grand Prairie, Texas drew outrage this week as it released fliers for the June 1 event, which will demand a ‘modest dress code’ and serve only Halal-slaughtered meat. Posters for the event say it will be ‘for Muslims only’ to create a ‘family-friendly environment’, with tickets starting at $55 each. The waterpark’s website notes that men and women will not be separated during the event, but attendees are told to ‘uphold Islamic etiquette’ by ‘lowering the gaze’ throughout the day. ‘Please follow the event’s modest dress code, and practice ḥayāʾ (modesty) through respectful behavior,’ the event says. All attendees are ‘expected to dress in accordance with Islamic values’, and the waterpark says all swimwear must meet Muslim guidelines. The event was criticized across social media, with many questioning if a taxpayer-funded space is allowed to exclude certain demographics from its events. Conservative commentator and radio host Dana Loesch led the backlash, questioning: ‘How is a taxpayer-funded, city-owned entity allowed to discriminate against non-Muslims at a public water park?’ Here is how users on X reacted to the water park’s promotional event: Why do I think Christian only day will never happen?How about Orthodox Jew only day? https://t.co/GjereX2t9v pic.twitter.com/MA5tU62DJO — Alandogtown (@Alan85959072) May 4, 2026 What the heck!? and why does Texas or anywhere tolerate such blatant abuse? No special treatment for any groups whatsoever. https://t.co/j1hyxOUTyZ — PY_Hildreth (@ukulelephil) May 4, 2026 The Muslim population in Texas has increased in recent years. The population has grown so much that Muslim developers are planning a Muslim community called EPIC City. The Jerusalem Post reported more on EPIC City: A planned Muslim residential community named EPIC City in Texas has received significant media attention, with some Texas officials claiming it will be an Islamic city or governed by Sharia law. The developers and Muslim American groups deny these claims and say it will be a “Muslim neighborhood” and not a separately-governed space. So what is true? EPIC city is a planned large-scale development project in Texas, promoted by a private development group associated with the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) area community. The “city” is a plan to develop a 402-acre tract of land in Hunt and Collin Counties that, when built, will host more than 1,000 residential lots, a faith-based K-12 school, commercial and retail centers, and a mosque. It has now been quietly rebranded “The Meadow.” It is not a new city, and will not have its own government. It will remain under Texas state law. However, marketing materials that promoted the development have referred to it as an exclusively “Muslim community” that will serve as “the epicenter of Islam in America.” This prompted the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) to launch an investigation to determine whether EPIC City’s plans violated the Fair Housing Act by engaging in religious and national-origin discrimination.
