New Water Park

This week’s blog is about the City of Northport discussing building a new water park. The financial plan would be to use portions of the city’s 1-cent sales tax revenue to build a $7 million water park. According to the current design, the park would be somewhere between Alabama Highway 69 and U.S. Highway 43, and visible from the road. City planners believe that a spot with enough property would allow the city to eventually expand to include a new sports complex for baseball, softball and soccer. The current proposal is a park with four slides -- two domed and two fast drops, a splash pad, lazy river, water guns and a tumble bucket. The park would also include an indoor splash pad and party area, which would mean the facility could remain open year-round.
