WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas — Hawaiian Falls CEO David Busch joined White Settlement Mayor Jerry Burns and city and business leaders December 3, to break ground on North Texas’ first Adventure Park — Water Park combo. Opening May 2014, the $13 million, year-round entertainment complex will employ more than 300 people during the peak summer months and 100 year-round.

“We’re excited to bring a new level of family entertainment to North Texas,” said Busch. “Our mission has always been to bring families closer together by providing a clean, safe, fun place for them to play together. Now we’re enhancing the experience by providing a more challenging environment where the whole family can climb and jump and play together. Don’t tell the kids they’re exercising and they’ll just think they’re having fun.”

The year-round Hawaiian Falls Adventure Park will open Memorial Day weekend and will feature multi-level ropes courses, adventure trail climbing nets, a military-style obstacle course, 60-foot high climbing and rappelling walls, a six-story Freefall attraction and 500-foot long zip lines. All the attractions will be adjacent to and above the Hawaiian Falls White Settlement water park site.

Mayor Burns said the 16-acre entertainment complex will have a big impact on White Settlement’s economy. “With a major water park, the year-round adventure park, and the Aloha Conference Center, tens of thousands of new visitors will come to our area every year to enjoy the facilities. Our citizens can’t wait to welcome guests from all over North and West Texas to White Settlement.”

The water park will be open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day and will include a football field-sized wavepool, a 10,000 square-foot activity pool with a floating water obstacle course, splash pads and water walks, a 1,000-foot-long river with rapids and fountains, and several multi-slide towers featuring speed slides, tube slides and a multi-lane mat racer slide.

The year-round entertainment complex is expected to attract more than 300,000 guests per year, and will also include a 20,000 square-foot indoor family arcade, private birthday party rooms and a restaurant.

The 5,000 square foot Aloha Event Center will accommodate up to 400 people for dining or up to 1,000 people theater-style for meetings, conferences and team building events year-round. Full-service catering will also be available.
