The wave aquatic park opens for this memorial day weekend. Allie rasmus is live at the park showing us what it has to offer. She is also talking to us about the city leaders, what they say about the park. They say it was needed despite the fact that people were concerned of course about the water since we have been in a drought. Reporter yes. And even with the drought officially over, it wasnt that long ago. In fact february 2015 when this project was approved, we were in the middle of the drought. So some residents in dublin had raised concerns about having a water park like this and building Something Like with all of the concerns about Water Conservation going on at the time. But the park has been built and ready to open starting tomorrow. I have with me jim who is the director of parks and services for the city of dublin. I know the city of dublin uses a lot of recycled water, purple pipes. This park specifically, what happens if two years from now were in another bad drought. Will the park have to shut down if there is calls for Water Conservation against. The facility runs like a regular pool. We this is all recycled water. It is pumped through a system. It is chlorinated and balanced. It stays it stays clean through the system. And it is continually reused. Once we put water in, with the exception of evaporation and we have pool covers and various things to slow that down. It stays fairly well full. And we dont have to keep adding continuously. It is recycled sanitized potable water. 480,000 gallons. Yes. You have two pools and a splash park. You have a water slide. Let me show you video of an indoor pool that has a roof on it to prevent some of the evaporation. Yeah. Thats so we can get year round use out of that. It is our training pool with six lanes. And really nice add to the facility as well. And the school swim teams have a pool to have swim meets and practices in. One thing i want to point out, the biggest eye catching attraction is the 48foot tall tower with the six water slides. Six water slide for a city aquatic park seems over the top. Why did you decide to have Something Like that here. It would seem that way but aquatic parks as they have run down and are hard to maintain and fund, they dont make a ton of money. The object is to bring in families to the facility. Maybe a potential regional attraction so we can keep the financially viability of the complex moving. We have video of one of the City Employees testing out the slide called the screamer. How does that work . Well, the screamer is interesting. Because ive actually been in it myself. You have gone down it. I have gone down it. It took me a little while to get into it. Im slightly claustrophobic. Do you realize what is happening. Not until it is too late. The director of parks and Community Services for the city of dublin. The aquatic park opens tomorrow at 11 00. It is called the wave in dublin. It will be opened throughout the memorial day weekend.
