Cowabunga Bay coming to SLC

Salt Lake City, Utah will see the opening of a new water park come Summer 2009. Cowabunga Bay Neighborhood Waterpark will test the limits of how compact a water park can get and still be functional.

Designed by Whitewater West and founded by the Huish brothers, the park will move away from the traditional idea of an all-day park experience in lieu of a compact park meant for 3-4 hours of fun. Because the park's founders are designing this park to be an in-and-out experience, the price point falls close in line at $10-15 for entry.

The structure will stand 70 feet tall and provide the slides, giant water buckets, and lazy rivers expected of the water park experience. See the images below for an idea of how this park is going to shape up.
