A water park company is considering building in Maricopa, carving out a wet oasis in the desert complete with water slides, wave pools and a lazy river.
PHX Surf has submitted plans for a sprawling 71-acre water park on the southwest corner of Smith-Enke Road and North Loma Road, directly west of the future Estrella Gin Business Center and West Maricopa Village. Referring to it as the PHX Surf Park in the pre-application narrative, developers touted it as a multi-entertainment area including a water park.
“Active entertainment sits at the helm of the PHX Surf Park, tying together retail, dining and hospitality experiences. A broad range of year-round experiences are planned for all ages including surfing, water play, beach play and fitness,” the narrative states.
