While indoor water parks remain a valued recreational resource, they pose significant and often under-recognized respiratory risks. Through better facility ventilation, hygiene education, disinfection innovation, and regulatory reform, these risks can be mitigated to protect both patrons and staff, particularly in vulnerable subpopulations.
