Myrtle Beach's Ocean Lakes Family Campground To Build Two-Acre Water Park; Construction To Begin After Labor Day 2015
Myrtle Beach, S.C. (PRWEB) March 13, 2015 -- Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, S.C. will be adding a new two-acre water park to its Sandy Harbor Family Fun Center later this year. Construction will begin after Labor Day 2015 and the water park will open in Spring 2016. The new water park will feature a 705 foot long Adventure River at Sandy Harbor. The hybrid lazy river features a speed lane called “the rapids” and a slide known as “the tube” which lands in the Adventure River. The 28,110 square feet of water surface in the park will also include a new themed kids splash zone, a semi-covered kiddie pool called the "Tad Pool," and a four lane Drop Zone Mat Racer that will begin 35 feet up in the air. The lounge area will also be expanded to 61,232 square feet of pool deck, complete with cabanas.
Ocean Lakes' existing Olympic-sized pool and Sandy Harbor Mini Golf will remain as part of the new water park.
“Our guests have been requesting a lazy river, but we decided to deliver something bigger, better and more fun,“ said Barb Krumm, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Ocean Lakes Family Campground. “As a result, our Sandy Harbor Family Fun Center expansion will be one of the biggest investments we have made in Ocean Lakes' amenities in our 44 year history. With it, we're demonstrating our commitment to our guests and to being a leader in our industry. Our top priority is making sure that our guests have the best vacation possible.”
