Shoreview finishes indoor water park expansion, set to open this month

The 7,000-square-foot expansion will feature multiple sprayers, buckets, geysers, a tunnel slide, twin “racing” slides and a number of interactive play elements. A new slip-resistant floor was added to the pool area, making the water park safer for children.

The water park pool is 18 inches deep and has zero-depth entry.

The opening of Bamboo Bay completes a $16 million community center expansion that began in October 2017. Some additional projects included in the yearlong expansion were: new fitness and activity rooms, an expanded indoor playground, a remodeled fitness center and a new preschool classroom.

There will be a ribbon-cutting at noon Dec. 15 hosted by Mayor Sandy Martin and Shoreview City Council members.

    5 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday
    5 to 9:45 p.m. Friday
    10 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. Saturday
