Mobile County Commission Making Plans For Water Theme Park

MOBILE COUNTY, Ala. — The Mobile County Commission recently approved a $30,000 contract with Hotel & Leisure Advisors, LLC for the development of an outdoor waterpark, FOX10 reported. The company will negotiate with developers for what commissioners envision as a public-private partnership. The idea is in the early stages and would require a private company willing to invest money in a theme park. The water park idea is one piece of the already-growing Mobile County Soccer Complex (BBN #71). Plans are in the works for a 40,000-ft2 aquatics center for swimmers. Those plans call for a 25-m-long swimming pool, seating for fans, locker rooms and concession areas. The facility will include a warm-up pool; at a later date, a larger outdoor pool may be added. The estimated cost is $12-$15 million. The commission pledged $4 million from its share of funding from the American Rescue Plan Act. Construction on the aquatic center will begin as soon as the commission secures all funds needed. The proposed water park would be built near the aquatic center on 25 wooded acres, purchased last year by the commission for $2.4 million, adjacent to the sportsplex.
