Oswego Indoor Waterpark Project
OSWEGO, NY— Oswego residents can prepare for a boost in tourism as construction begins for a new indoor waterpark.
After receiving $10 million for downtown revitalization, Oswego has numerous projects with a goal to make the town more active.
“It would definitely reel in a lot of people. I love indoor water parks and I’m sure a lot of other people do too. Since it’s indoors people can go any time of year. It’s not just the summertime, it’ll attract more people,” SUNY Oswego student Ana Sanchez said.
Sanchez said in a place that is known for its cold, snowy weather, the waterpark will give people in the town more options, especially in the winter.
“I would definitely go any time of the season, no matter what it is. Definitely Christmas time when it’s cold, the snow is up here, the wind. I would definitely like to be in an indoor waterpark,” said Sanchez.
The waterpark could be a great addition to the town of Oswego, and especially for the waterbugs who still enjoy a good swim in the freezing Oswego winters.
Residents should prepare their bathing suits and water shoes for the opening, which should be determined soon.
Other projects from the money awarded from the downtown revitalization fund are the riverwalk, and the renovation of the Children’s Museum of Oswego (CMOO).
