“The opening of the indoor water park at The Villages Resort marks a significant milestone for Silverleaf Resorts, as we continue to enhance our resorts and increase our appeal to both new customers and existing members,” said Sharon K. Brayfield, President of Silverleaf Resorts.

The $10 million indoor water park is approximately 19,000 square feet and features a signature bucket dump aqua play unit, wave pool, lazy river and four indoor/outdoor tube rides. The 7,000 square foot entry building includes a food service area, an arcade filled with the latest electronic adventures, a souvenir gift shop, and a large changing room with over 1,000 lockers.

The Villages Resort is located on the shores of Lake Palestine, a 40,000-acre lake and one of the larger water-sports playgrounds in the Southwest used for boating, swimming and other recreational activities. Members have private access to the lake and three swimming pools, as well as a miniature golf course, lighted tennis courts, an archery range, softball field, and horseback riding.
