Line rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap. If using whole watermelon, trim rind; cut 1” cubes from flesh. Spread 3 cups watermelon cubes over rimmed baking sheet; freeze until solid, at least 3 hours.
Meanwhile, in small pot, combine strawberries, sugar, and ½ cup water; over high heat, bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes. Cool slightly; transfer to blender. Cover; blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In blender, puree remaining 3 cups watermelon cubes until smooth. To assemble punch, combine watermelon puree, pineapple juice, lemon juice, ½ cup water, and reserved strawberry puree.
