No, you need to wait a minimum of 2 months before going swimming with ANY new piercing. Water parks are not known for being sanitary either. Chlorine is HORRIBLE for fresh piercings and you'd be soaking your open wound in other strangers' filth (and a good dose of little kid pee too I'm sure). cleaning afterward, while helpful will make no difference if bacteria has already worked it way in (a colony of bacteria can double in size in as little as 20 minutes). I would worry about getting it caught on the slides and whatnot. Just wait til after you go, better safe than sorry.

since its a month later it will be fine but if you are truly worried about it then just but a bandaid on it or take it out for the day. since there will be a lot of water on it, it wont close up. ;)

Depends... on some people, the piercing will heal after a week and for some others it might not heal at all. That happened to me. My cousin's piercing healed really quickly, but I had to remove it, even though I took very good care of it.
Plus, sometimes the water is contaminated, and it might infect your piercing. Definitely not worth it. If I were you, I would do it after going to the water park.
