Nocatee Splash Water Park Grand Opening

Aug. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Today, April 10, 2010, Nocatee residents and their guests are celebrating the official grand opening of the Nocatee Splash Water Park in Ponte Vedra. The Water Park, along with the Nocatee Fitness Club and Crosswater Hall, are considered to be one of the most dynamic and unique recreation amenities in Florida.  

“Residents enjoyed a ‘sneak peak’ a month ago at the Nocatee Polar Plunge, but beginning today the park is officially open,” said Rick Ray, Managing Partner with the PARC Group, the town’s master developer. “The Water Park is truly spectacular, and is comparable to many major resort amenities.”

The signature, interactive amenity includes a water park, an open-air event lawn along with a two-story clubhouse complete with a banquet room and conference center situated next to an impressive fitness center.

The Splash Water Park (http://www.nocatee.com/ParksRecreation/waterPark.aspx) includes the Rip Tide Slides with Northeast Florida’s tallest slide tower complete with two high-speed slides, The Lagoon Pool, The Lazy Tides River, the Splash Cove interactive sprayground area for kids and The Cabana, an area with covered seating and a summer kitchen that is available for private reservation.

There is also a concession area with open-air seating, volleyball courts, a children’s playground and two nearby activity lawns. As part of Nocatee Community Park, the Splash Water Park is located by multipurpose ball fields, tennis courts and a dog park.

“We believe Nocatee residents have the opportunity to enjoy a very unique lifestyle”, said Ray. “The Ponte Vedra location, top rated schools, greenway trails, and recreation facilities make Nocatee a special community”.

Recreation is a cornerstone of the Nocatee lifestyle. In addition to the Splash Water Park, Nocatee offers many other venues for both active and passive recreation, most notably in the trail system and the community’s abundant parks.

Nocatee’s residential villages are surrounded by protected belts of woodlands called the Nocatee Greenway. The Greenway Trail System winds throughout the natural environment with paved paths and wooden bridges that travel throughout the preserved areas and cross over wetlands. Since the first phase of trails completed earlier this year, residents can be seen riding their bicycles, walking and jogging throughout the trails on a daily basis.  Because the Greenway buffers the surrounding neighborhoods, the trails also allow for quick and easy access to the town center, neighboring villages and area parks as well as to the water park.

Nocatee will offer over 300 acres of parks, with half set aside as community parks for all residents to enjoy, and the remainder designated as neighborhood parks for residents within the individual villages. Each of the communities in Nocatee offers either central parks, pocket parks or both. The larger Nocatee Community Park, which was dedicated to St. Johns County, offers multipurpose ball fields, tennis courts and a dog park for all county residents to enjoy. Currently, the community park plays host to a variety of sporting and special events each month.
