"As we continue to grow capacity and attendance, we need a place to put those people so they can have a positive experience," Alison Hall, the city's Leisure Services director, told the Dothan City Commission during its regular meeting."People have been asking for a lazy river for a long time so we feel that this is the next logical step."
The river will go around a hill on the 13-acre property and have an Adventure Playground with multiple levels and slides for kids. In total, the project will cost about $12 million and take 14 to 18 months to complete once construction begins, according to Hall. The construction timeline was not revealed during the meeting.
