MANSFIELD (Dallas Business Journal) – Harvest Family Entertainment has begun construction on Hawaiian Falls/Mansfield, a 14-acre water park at Heritage Parkway and SH 360.
The $10 million water park, which includes 12 waterslides, a football field–sized wavepool and a "lazy river," is a joint venture between Hawaiian Falls, the Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corp. and the city.
The city will own the park and Hawaiian Falls will operate it under a 40-year lease. The park will employ about 200 people. It is expected to attract about 150,000 guests per year and increase the local economy by about $5 million annually.
Harvest Family Entertainment has codeveloped and managed 17 water and amusement parks in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Missouri, Mississippi and Texas.
Hawaiian Falls/Mansfield is expected to open next Memorial Day.
