City Park Water Park, home of the playful Ogopogo, was closed for the 2017 and 2018 seasons after flood damage.

鈥淲e received the green light from council in February to begin working on the water park right away,鈥� said Scott Bushell, with the City of 琉璃神社. 鈥淥ur project team is working diligently to ensure we have the water park open in time for the upcoming season.鈥�

The restoration process has begun with plans to make the new water park more flood resistant, an added new water delivery and disposal system, as well as new attractions.

Waterplay Solutions, a local aquatic play manufacturer that was the original supplier for the water park when it was first built, worked with their agency partner RecTec Industries to contribute new aquatic play features to the project.

鈥淲e鈥檇 like to thank Waterplay and RecTec for their collaboration with the city in providing an additional $63,900 worth of features for the water park,鈥� said Bushell. 鈥淪trong, strategic partnerships like this help ensure we鈥檙e able to provide maximum value for residents.鈥�
