Project developers broke ground on Splash City Adventure Park Tuesday morning during a ceremony, signaling the official start to construction on St. George’s first large water park.

Over two years ago, the St. George City Council approved a conditional use permit that would allow developers to operate the park within the city.

Later, the council voted to widen Red Hills Parkway and vacate a section of Middleton Drive, making necessary changes to avoid adverse effects on traffic.

The water park is scheduled to open summer of 2020.
