MANSFIELD — Located on Heritage Parkway and Texas Highway 360, just south of I-20, Hawaiian Falls/Mansfield is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend 2008.
“We’re honored to bring Hawaiian Falls’ brand of family entertainment to Mansfield and Tarrant County,” said David Busch, president and CEO of Hawaiian Falls. “Because of the city’s growth and the receptive nature of city and civic officials, Mansfield is the place to be. We are fortunate to be part of the amazing growth story of Mansfield and southeast Tarrant County.”

As part of the deal, Hawaii's new "Mansfield Falls" is scheduled to open in late 2009
The $10 million waterpark is a joint venture between Hawaiian Falls, the City of Mansfield and the Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation. The city will own the park and Hawaiian Falls will operate it under a 40-year lease.
Hawaiian Falls/Mansfield will employ about 200 people during the season. It will also contribute an estimated $5 million annually to the local economy. The park expects to attract about 150,000 guests each year.
Hawaiian Falls/Mansfield will be the largest and most elaborately themed and landscaped of any of the Hawaiian Falls waterparks in the area. Featuring 12 waterslides, a football field-sized wavepool, a lazy river, two children’s areas and water walkways, the park will offer abundant shade.
Hawaiian Falls/Mansfield will also host concerts featuring national recording artists and “Dive-In” movies during the season, plus private cabanas for daily rental, corporate picnic and group areas, birthday party rooms and several food and beverage options.
