Waterparks

I've never been to water park in my life. I guess it's an exciting place. Probably, I would go there, but there isn't any in my city. There is a water park in the city to the north, but it's an indoor water park. Perhaps, it is better to call it aqua park. However, I think, it's better to go swimming in a lake in summer. It's much better to spend some time outdoors. Though, the weather hasn't been good to go swimming last days. It's been too cold and windy outside. The sun hasn't been shining, and it's been so dark during the day, that it seemed like evening. The days like these, I think, it worth to have some fun indoors.

Corrections

I guess it's anthey are exciting places.

It's more natural to talk about water parks in plural if you aren't talking about one specific water park.

There is a water park in the city to the north, but it's an indoor water park.

However, I think, it's better to go swimming in a lake in summer.

You can also say "in the summer" as the other corrector suggested, but saying just "in summer" is perfectly natural (there's even an English song called "In Summer" from the movie Frozen!)

It's much better to spend some time outdoors.

It's been too cold and windy outside.

The sun hasn't been shining, and it's been so dark during the day, that it's seemed like evening.

1) "There is a water park in the city to the north" means something different from 2) "There is a water park in the north of the city".

1) means that north of where the author lives, there is a city, and inside that city, there is a water park.

2) means there is a water park on the north side of the city where the author lives

If the author meant 1, I think they said it perfect.

"it's" can also be a contraction of "it has" and was used by the author correctly. Using only "it" here would be wrong.

Evening is not definitive here. Here is a guide for using articles with times of day: http://www.tspu.edu.ru/oldfiles/fia/files/file/anglijskogojazyka/articles_with_day_night_evening_morning.pdf

I guess it'sthey are an exciting place.

it->they: it is definite, as though there is a specific one that you would visit

Probably, I would go therI would probably go to one, but there isaren't any in my city.

there ->to one: there is definite, as though there is a certain one that you would visit

I wouldn't start with a transition word of probably. That is a tad unusual, but technically correct.

There is a water park in the city to the northnorth of the city, but it's an indoor water park.

technically correct, this is just a bit more standard

Perhaps, it is better to call it an aqua park.

However, I think, it's better to go swimming in a lake in the summer.

TAlthough, the weather hasn't been good to go swimming lastthe last few days.

It's been too cold and windy outside.

In this case, "It's" would be a contraction for "it has."
"It's been" or "It has been" would be correct. (Present perfect continuous tense, something started in the past and is still continuing to the present)
"It was" is also an option (Past continuous tense, something that was going on in the past)
"It been" is not correct

Sorry for seeing your comment so late. I meant another city which is located to the north.
