A splendid new water park is finally underway in Garland: The Surf & Swim Aquatics Facility, coming to 440 W. Oates Rd. in south Garland, is set to begin construction in summer 2024, with an opening anticipated for summer 2026. According to a post from the city of Garland, the new facility will be outfitted with theme park-style amenities that include a winding lazy river, a tranquil leisure pool, a "flow rider" wave simulation machine, an aquatic playground, a dedicated children’s pool, three new waterslides, plus structures for shade. There will also be a concession stand and party room for special events.
The design has been completed, and construction will begin in the fall. Due to financial impact of doing maintenance on the facility, the original park closed during summer 2023 and 2024. These kinds of large-scale facilities, such as the Bahama Beach Waterpark which Dallas opened in 2015, have become increasingly popular in municipal programs, notes Garland Recreation Director D'Lee Williams.
"I think North Richland Hills was one of the first when they opened NRH20 back in 1995," Williams says. "The aquatics-style parks have evolved quite a bit over the past few years, and offer something for everyone — from those who just want to relax on a lazy river to those drawn to attractions like the slide."
