“Water World,” Coming Soon to St. Simons Island!

Those of you who fondly remember spending hot summer days at the Casino pool, you will be pleased to know that plans for a new community pool are well underway. In fact, construction is well underway. Yesterday, the Brunswick News featured an article with an aerial photo illustrating Water World’s progress. I am impressed! Plans call for an oceanfront water park featuring a lap pool, splash (children’s) pool, and large zero-entry recreational pool. Besides looking cool, the zero-edge feature (sloped much like the beach) allows for easy handicap accessibility.  Additionally, the former mini-golf course, now closed, is being relocated to the area surrounding the pool. A large bathhouse is also under construction, which will feature restrooms and a concession booth. If construction continues as scheduled, the new community water park will open in time for summer. Water world is the highlight of the new St. Simons Island Pier/Village master plan, which includes plans for a new playground, a wider beach walk, fresh landscaping, and an overall revitalized park area.
