About the renovations
Did you know that folks have visited Water World for 41 years? That’s almost a half century of memories! Soon, guests will have even more to enjoy, thanks to the ongoing Water World renovations.
The planning for those renovations have been in the works for a while. After successful proposals and project bids, the Dothan City Commission approved an architect in May 2021.
Wyatt Sasser Construction will complete the project. Their upgrades will focus on:
- Making new wave equipment;
- Building a brand-new front gate;
- Fixing up the restrooms; and
- Improving the concessions area.
