Splash Kingdom Waterpark

[1][2] The 17-acre property was opened in 1996 by James Braswell, seeking to diversify from his family’s chain of senior care facilities.

Attractions included an interior arcade, miniature golf, go-karts, bumper boats, laser tag, and water slides.

The main building was topped by a pyramid and featured a giant pharaoh’s head looming over the entrance.

[3] Over the years, many of the outdoor attractions closed during a series of ownership changes, code violations, and troubles with the city.

[10] There is a preliminary application to build a warehouse on the property but city officials are considering rezoning the site for residential use to meet state housing requirements.
