Serengeti Springs
Serengeti Springs is a water park at Kamper Park on the site of the former Cameron Field on Hardy Street. It opened to the public on May 25, 2024, after allowing season pass holders early admission the week before.
The $10.5 million project was announced during a press conference on August 3, 2022, at the pavilion at Kamper Park. Construction began the next day on August 4, beginning with demolition of Cameron Field. Phase 1 of construction includes a Fusion Fortress multi-level play structure (which will have nine slides and two water dumping buckets), a 150,000 gallon lazy river, and other pools, buildings, and pavilions. Phase 1 is scheduled to finish in summer 2023.[1][2]
Cameron Field will be moved to Jaycee Park.
