SPLASHTOWN HAS CLOSED FOREVER(originally published January 3rd)

After three months of speculation, Splashtown San Antonio has closed forever!  San Antonio City Council has recently approved a zoning change that would allow for a car dealership to be built on the property. I mean does a new car dealership have to be built right there?

MOVING QUICKLY:

The park has already started to be dismantled. This is very sad news for my family. Splashtown was my family's go-to waterpark for as long as I can remember.  We were just there last summer. It's amazing how quickly nature has started to take over the park. Take a look at some of the photos of the newly abandoned Splashtown in San Antonio. They are kind of eerie. Thanks to the Youtube Channel of Unknown Ventures, we have a look at the current status of the park. SEE THE PHOTO GALLERY BELOW. 

If you visit the Splashtown San Antonio website, you will see this message from the Kinney family...

After 37 years, it is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to all our friends and families that have enjoyed their summers with us. Like you and your family, our Splashtown family has made many memories worth repeating alongside you that will last generations.

We take pride in having the opportunity to serve generations of families every summer and to give back to our community for so long. Your patronage and support have been very appreciated!

Many thanks to our guests, employees, vendors, and supporters. We wish for each of you God’s Blessings, health, and happiness.
