Blue Surf Bay Waterpark

Blue Springs, Missouri

A team lead by SFS Architecture conducted a feasibility study to determine indoor and outdoor aquatic needs for the Blue Springs community. As part of the study, the team worked with city leaders, community stakeholders and residents to evaluate options regarding size, amenities and programming, and to gauge community support for a new facility and other aquatic amenities. Also included in the study was assessment of current aquatic facilities, a market analysis, citizen survey, construction cost estimates, projected operating expenses and site analysis of multiple potential facility locations. Graphic materials were generated, including site plans, floor plans and 3D renderings, for presentation to community leaders, other stakeholder groups and the public in preparation for a referendum, which passed overwhelmingly.

Site plan rendering.

Features include a natatorium that houses a 25-yard lap pool with overhead NinjaCross and rock wall for climbing and cliff diving, an indoor splash pad, program pool with a current channel, hot tub and steam sauna.
